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.

2 · The registry

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

Ovarian cancer is the fifth leading cause of mortality and the most lethal gynecologic malignancy among females. It may arise from atypical borderline tumors (Type I) or serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma (Type II). The diagnosis of cancer at its early stages is difficult because of non-specific symptoms, most patients are diagnosed at the advanced stage. Several drugs and therapeutic strategies are available to treat ovarian cancer such as surgery, chemotherapy, neoadjuvant therapy, and maintenance therapy. However, the cancer cells have developed resistance to a number of available therapies causing treatment failure. This emerging chemoresistance in ovarian cancer cells is becoming an obstacle due to alterations in multiple cellular processes. These processes involve altered drug target response, drug pumps, detoxification systems, lower sensitivity to apoptosis, and altered proliferation, and are responsible for developing resistance to anticancer medicines. Various research reports have evidenced that these altered processes might play a role in the emergence of resistance. This review addresses the recent advances in understanding the underlying mechanisms of ovarian cancer resistance and covers sophisticated alternative pathways to overcome these resistance mechanisms in patients.
