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

The poor prognosis for high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC), the dominant subtype of ovarian cancer, reflects its aggressive nature, late diagnosis, and the highest mortality rate among all gynaecologic cancers. Apart from late diagnosis, the main reason for the poor prognosis and its unsuccessful treatment is primarily the emergence of chemoresistance to carboplatin. Although there is a good response to primary treatment, the disease recurs in 80% of cases, at which point it is largely resistant to carboplatin. The introduction of novel targeted therapies in the second decade of the 21st century has begun to transform the treatment of HGSOC, although their impact on overall survival remains unsatisfactory. Targeting the specific pathways known to be abnormally activated in HGSOC is especially difficult due to the molecular diversity of its subtypes. Moreover, a range of molecular changes are associated with acquired chemoresistance, e.g., reversion of
