Article in Molecular cancer therapeutics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
High-grade serous ovarian cancer is generally treated with upfront chemotherapy, including carboplatin. The persistence of platinum-resistant cells drives recurrent disease. A high-throughput screen using a 3D organotypic culture assembled with extracellular matrix, primary human fibroblasts, and mesothelial cells was established and validated. Using a library of FDA-approved drugs, the 3D high-throughput screen was performed with the goal of identifying a combination of drugs that synergistically target two populations of ovarian cancer: aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) high (ALDHhi) and ALDH low (ALDHlo) enzyme activity cells, which are less sensitive to carboplatin treatment than the bulk ovarian cancer cells. Initial results showed that omipalisib, verteporfin, CA3, mitoxantrone, navitoclax, venetoclax, and YM155 had significant single-drug activity in either the ALDHlo or both the ALDHlo/ALDHhi cell populations. Synergistic drug activity was identified with three drug combinations: navitoclax/omipalisib, navitoclax/YM155, and YM155/omipalisib. In vitro, the combination of navitoclax/YM155 was most efficient at blocking primary human ovarian cancer sphere formation and the proliferation of four different ovarian cancer cell lines in the 3D organotypic culture. In vivo, the combination of navitoclax/YM155/carboplatin decreased ovarian cancer metastasis, decreased the percentage of ALDHhi ovarian cancer cells in tumors, and increased survival when compared with carboplatin treatment alone in xenograft models. Our results suggest that the combination of navitoclax/YM155/carboplatin has promise as a therapy for treating ovarian cancer.
