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

Objective: The effect of bevacizumab on platinum sensitivity in recurrent ovarian cancer remains poorly understood. This study examined the association between platinum-free interval (PFI) and sensitivity to subsequent platinum-containing chemotherapy in patients with first relapsed ovarian cancer after bevacizumab chemotherapy. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed patients who received platinum-based chemotherapy for platinum-sensitive recurrence between November 2013, and December 2019, and who were initially treated by platinum-based chemotherapy with concurrent and maintenance bevacizumab. The primary endpoint was response rate to subsequent chemotherapy after various periods of PFI. The relevance between response rate and PFI was assessed for each PFI of 6-12, 12-24 and ≧24 months using Cochran-Armitage test. The secondary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS) defined as time from chemotherapy for first recurrence to subsequent progression and response rate to subsequent chemotherapy for each treatment-free interval since last administration of bevacizumab (Bev-TFI). Results: A total of 77 patients were eligible. The median PFI until first recurrence was 12 months (range: 6-43). The response rates of subsequent chemotherapy for patients with PFI of 6-12, ≥12-24, and 24 months were 42 %, 65 %, and 80 %, showing a linear trend ( Conclusion: In patients with first relapse of primary ovarian cancer and bevacizumab beyond progression, the prolonged PFS effect of bevacizumab does not seem to affect sensitivity to subsequent platinum-based chemotherapy.
