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: Ovarian carcinosarcomas (OCS) is a rare type of ovarian cancer. Due to its low incidence, studies are limited to several case reports/case series and small-scale retrospective study. We carried out this study to explore prognostic factors and treatment strategies for OCS. Methods: Patients diagnosed with OCS between March 2012 and October 2023 at Jiangsu Cancer Center were enrolled in this study. Baseline Characteristics, treatment strategies and survival of all enrolled patients were recorded. Kaplan-Meier analysis with a log-rank Mantel-Cox test was used to compare progression-free survival (PFS) between different groups. Results: Twenty-six patients met inclusion criteria. The median PFS of all enrolled patients was 17.53 months. We firstly demonstrated that patients with ascites ≥500 ml (27.83 months Conclusions: Our study demonstrated that age at diagnosis, diameter of tumor, Ki-67 index, and volume of ascites may be prognostic factors of OCS. Patients with HRD positive/BReast CAncer gene (BRCA) mutation may benefit from PARPi.
