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 serous carcinoma is a gynecological malignancy associated with a high mortality rate, which is commonly diagnosed in the first instance at a late stage and has a propensity to develop resistance to platinum-based chemotherapy. Identifying reliable biomarkers for platinum sensitivity is critical for improving patient outcomes. The present retrospective study included 64 patients with high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stages III or IV). Patients were classified as platinum-sensitive (no relapse within 6 months of the last platinum administration) or platinum-resistant (relapse within 6 months). Immunohistochemical analysis was performed to evaluate Fyn expression in tumor tissues, and Fyn knockdown experiments were performed using the OVSAHO ovarian cancer cell line to assess carboplatin sensitivity. Fyn expression was significantly higher in platinum-resistant patients compared with in platinum-sensitive patients (P<0.01). A weighted Fyn expression score was developed and a cutoff score of 6 was determined to predict platinum sensitivity with a specificity of 65.5% and a sensitivity of 62.9%. Patients with low Fyn expression (score ≤6) exhibited higher platinum sensitivity and longer overall survival (P<0.05). Multivariate analysis identified Fyn expression and postoperative residual tumor size as independent predictors of platinum sensitivity (P=0.033 and P=0.023, respectively).
