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

Late recurrence of ovarian cancer is exceedingly rare. We report a case of adenocarcinoma of Müllerian origin that developed 22 years after hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO) for ovarian cancer in an 81-year-old woman with a pathogenic BRCA1 mutation. The patient underwent six cycles of reduced-dose carboplatin and paclitaxel, achieving remission with a dramatic decline in CA-125 levels. Women with BRCA mutations have a significantly increased risk of ovarian/tube/peritoneal cancer. Although risk-reducing BSO effectively decreases the risk of ovarian and fallopian tube cancers, the risk of peritoneal cancer remains substantial. This case not only illustrates the persistent lifetime risk of ovarian/tube/peritoneal cancer despite BSO but also underscores the need for reevaluation of prophylactic surgical strategies, particularly regarding the extent of peritoneal resection, in BRCA mutation carriers. Additionally, this case report demonstrated the efficacy of dose-modified chemotherapy for BRCA-associated cancers. Further research is warranted to refine surgical and therapeutic strategies for patients with BRCA mutation.
