Prognostic Role of CA-125 Elimination Rate Constant (KELIM) in Patients with Advanced Epithelial Ovarian Cancer Who Received PARP Inhibitors.
Article in Cancers, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundThis multicenter retrospective study aimed to investigate the prognostic value of the CA-125 elimination rate constant K (KELIM) in EOC patients who received platinum-based chemotherapy followed by PARP inhibitors, in either upfront or interval treatment settings.
methodsBetween July 2019 and November 2022, we identified stage III-IV EOC patients who underwent primary or interval cytoreductive surgery and received olaparib or niraparib. Individual KELIM values were assessed based on validated kinetics and classified into favorable and unfavorable cohorts.
resultsIn a study of 252 patients undergoing frontline maintenance therapy with olaparib or niraparib, favorable KELIM (≥1) scores were associated with a higher PFS benefit in the primary cytoreductive surgery (PCS) cohort (hazard ratio (HR) for disease progression or death 3.51, 95% confidence interval (CI); 1.37-8.97,
conclusionsA favorable KELIM score was associated with improved PFS in patients with advanced EOC undergoing PCS. Furthermore, in the ICS cohort, a favorable KELIM score increased the probability of complete cytoreduction.
