1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

Abstract

The chemotherapy response score has been developed over the last few years as a predictive index of survival outcomes for patients with advanced-stage epithelial ovarian cancer undergoing interval debulking surgery. While its importance in predicting patients at risk of developing recurrences earlier seems to be important, its accuracy in determining patients with a shorter overall survival remains arbitrary. Moreover, standardization of the actual scoring system that was initially developed as a 6-tiered score and adopted as a 3-tiered score is still needed, as several studies suggest that a 2-tiered system is preferable. Given its actual importance in detecting patients with shorter progression-free survival, research should also focus on the actual predictive value of determining patients with platinum resistance, as a suboptimal patient response to standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy might help determine patients at risk of an earlier recurrence. In the present review, we summarize current knowledge retrieved from studies addressing outcomes related to the chemotherapy response score in epithelial ovarian cancer patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy and discuss differences in outcome reporting to help provide directions for further research.
