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

Skin metastasis from ovarian cancer is rare, and its prognosis is poor. Effective therapeutic strategies are currently lacking, but the combination of various treatment methods shrink the tumor and relieve symptoms. The present study reports a rare case of advanced ovarian cancer with skin metastases and intestinal wall thickening, along with a BRCA1 DNA repair associated (BRCA1) mutation. After standard first-line treatment and non-standard second-line treatment, the patient developed skin metastases. The patient's skin itching, pain and lesions were completely relieved after administering bevacizumab in combination with paclitaxel and carboplatin. After 4 months, skin metastases recurred along with anal distension during maintenance treatment with oral poly(ADP ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors. The patient was treated again with bevacizumab combined with docetaxel, and the anal distension was significantly relieved. Angiogenesis therapy combined with chemotherapy is effective, but that the disease-free survival time is short, and PARP inhibitor maintenance effect is limited even in cases with a BRCA1 gene mutation.
