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

Low-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (LGSOC) is an uncommon subtype of ovarian cancer, and it is usually associated with reduced sensitivity to chemotherapy and worse outcomes. We present a case involving a 45-year-old female patient diagnosed with stage III-C low-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (LGSOC) in 2013. She achieved a complete response for 29 months after undergoing platinum-based chemotherapy and interval cytoreduction. However, in 2016, both local and distant relapses were observed. As there was no benefit from hormonal therapy and the patient refused chemotherapy, bevacizumab was initiated, resulting in disease stabilization for 30 months. At disease progression, trametinib was proposed, and the patient experienced an ongoing sustained complete response for over 36 months. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report, outside of a clinical trial, regarding a complete response with single agent MEK inhibitor therapy in a patient with recurrent LGSOC, with unknown BRAF V600E mutation. We present the following case in accordance with the CAse REports (CARE) checklist.
