Bevacizumab combined with platinum-based chemotherapy in primary or relapsed ovarian cancer patients: Meta-analysis and literature to review.
Article in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: Earlier, patients with advanced ovarian cancer were treated with a combination of cytoreductive surgery and platinum-based chemotherapy, which had significant outcomes in the past until an increase in relapse and resistance to treatment, which led to the use or development of bevacizumab (a vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitor) in the treatment of primary or relapsed ovarian cancer. Method and Methodology: This study includes five-phase three randomized controlled clinical trials designed to study the impact of bevacizumab in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy compared with platinum-based chemotherapy alone. Results: This study demonstrated significant improvement in the progression-free span but no improvement in overall survival in the treatment group when compared with the control group. Also, adverse effects reported with combination therapy were tolerable and easily manageable by decreasing the infusion rate or by decreasing the frequency of infusion.
