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

Platinum‑resistant ovarian cancer (PROC) is a significant clinical challenge due to the limited number of treatment options and poor outcomes. Moreover, cytotoxic drugs have an unsatisfactory therapeutic efficacy, high toxicity and side effects. An antibody‑drug conjugate (ADC) is a novel cancer therapeutic strategy that combines an antibody, a linker and a payload. ADCs precisely target the tumor cells by binding to the antigen on the surface of tumor cells, thus accurately delivering the cytotoxic drugs and minimizing systemic toxicity. The approval of mirvetuximab soravtansine by the US Food and Drug Administration for treating folate receptor alpha‑positive, platinum‑resistant epithelial ovarian cancer has promoted studies on the use of ADCs in ovarian cancer. A phase III clinical trial showed that mirvetuximab soravtansine achieved an objective remission rate of 42.3% in platinum‑resistant, FRα‑positive ovarian cancer, compared with 15.9% using chemotherapy, demonstrating its immense potential for ADC development. The present review summarizes the research progress on the use of ADCs in PROC as a monotherapy and combination therapy and considers the future development direction of ADCs in PROC.
