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

introductionNiraparib was approved for first-line (1L) maintenance (1LM) treatment of patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) following the PRIMA/ENGOT-OV26/GOG-3012 (PRIMA) trial. PRIMA was restricted to patients at higher risk of progression (excluded stage III EOC with no visible residual disease [NVRD] after primary cytoreductive surgery [PCS]). This retrospective study evaluated the potential impact of excluding stage III EOC with NVRD from PRIMA by assessing real-world treatment outcomes following 1LM niraparib monotherapy in this patient population.

methodsData from a US-nationwide electronic health record-derived deidentified database comprised adult patients diagnosed with stage III/IV EOC who received 1L platinum-based chemotherapy and initiated niraparib 1LM monotherapy (01Jan2017-28Feb2023). Patients were classified as PRIMA-like (EOC with higher-risk prognostic factors for disease progression) or stage III disease with NVRD after PCS. Real-world time to next treatment (rwTTNT) and progression-free survival (rwPFS), assessed from the end date of 1L platinum-based chemotherapy, were measured via Kaplan-Meier methods.

resultsAmong 453 patients who received niraparib 1LM (PRIMA-like cohort, n = 390; stage III NVRD cohort, n = 63), median follow-up from index was 14.9 (interquartile range [IQR], 7.3-25.1) and 18.4 (IQR, 9.3-29.1) months in the PRIMA-like and stage III NVRD cohorts, respectively. Median rwTTNT was significantly longer in the stage III NVRD cohort (22.5 [95% confidence interval (CI), 17.3-not reached] months) than in the PRIMA-like cohort (11.7 [95% CI, 10.8-12.9] months; P < 0.001). Median rwPFS in the stage III NVRD cohort (25.2 [95% CI, 12.6-not reached] months) was more than double that in the PRIMA-like cohort (10.1 [95% CI, 9.1-11.9] months; P < 0.001).

conclusionsIn the stage III NVRD cohort, rwTTNT and rwPFS were significantly longer than in the PRIMA-like cohort, consistent with clinical expectation. Results suggest niraparib clinical benefit may have been underestimated in PRIMA because of the exclusion of patients with stage III EOC with NVRD after PCS.
