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

backgroundHRD is a key biomarker in ovarian cancer, predicting response to PARP inhibitors. However, it remains unclear whether HRD-positive patients differ from HRD-negative patients in terms of clinical characteristics in PARP inhibitor-naïve populations. This study aims to evaluate platinum-sensitive PARP-inhibitor naïve ovarian cancer patients' clinical characteristics and survival outcomes based on HRD status. Secondly, to investigate whether platinum-resistant patients with homologous recombination repair (HRR) gene mutations are HRD-positive.

methodsTwo distinct HRD algorithms-an in-house genomic instability score (GIS) and the normalized large-scale state transitions score (nLST)-were used to stratify patients as HRD-positive or HRD-negative. Clinical data and survival in PARP inhibitor-naïve, platinum-sensitive HGSC patients were analyzed.

resultsA total of 71 platinum-sensitive PARP-inhibitor naïve patients were analyzed. By in-house GIS, 37 patients (52%) were classified as HRD-positive and 34 (48%) as HRD-negative. Using nLST, 43 (61%) were HRD-positive and 28 (39%) were HRD-negative. Our analysis revealed no significant differences in clinical parameters or survival between HRD-positive and HRD-negative platinum-sensitive patients. The only observed difference was that somatic

conclusionsOur findings suggest that HRD status does not significantly influence clinical characteristics or survival outcomes in platinum-sensitive, PARP inhibitor-naïve HGSC patients. As some platinum-resistant patients with HRR gene mutations were HRD positive; this subgroup may benefit from further investigation into the potential effect of PARP inhibitors.
