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 one of the most common gynecological malignancies. The current first-line treatment strategies for advanced ovarian cancer include surgery, chemotherapy, and maintenance therapy. Bevacizumab and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPi) are primary maintenance treatments for advanced ovarian cancer. Previously, many patients declined these therapies before medicare coverage because of high costs. Bevacizumab and apatinib are anti-tumor angiogenic agents. In this case study, we describe a patient with advanced ovarian cancer who underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy, interval debulking surgery, and adjuvant chemotherapy. She declined bevacizumab and PARPi maintenance therapy owing to the prohibitive expenses. The patient was administered off-label apatinib and achieved a progression-free survival of 54 months. Thus, apatinib may offer substantial therapeutic value as a first-line maintenance therapy in advanced ovarian cancer.
