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

purposeThe optimal treatment of recurrent ovarian clear cell carcinoma (rOCCC) remains unknown. This is the first randomized trial to compare durvalumab with chemotherapy in rOCCC. PATIENTS AND

methodsMOCCA is a randomized, phase 2 trial conducted in Singapore, Korea, and Australia. Eligible patients had rOCCC with recurrence after platinum-based chemotherapy, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status ≤2, and no prior immune checkpoint blockade. Patients were randomly assigned (2:1) to durvalumab (1,500 mg every 4 weeks) or chemotherapy. Patients progressing on chemotherapy were allowed to cross over to durvalumab. The primary outcome was progression-free survival. Secondary outcomes included overall survival, objective response rates, and safety.

resultsForty-eight eligible women were assigned to durvalumab (N = 31) or chemotherapy (N = 17). The median progression-free survival was 7.6 [95% confidence interval (CI), 7.0-16.0] and 14.0 (95% CI, 7.0-32.9) weeks with durvalumab and chemotherapy, respectively (HR = 1.6; 95% CI, 0.8-3.0; P = 0.92). The median overall survival was 37.9 (95% CI, 21.7-143.0) and 40.6 (95% CI, 25.0-not reached) weeks, respectively (HR = 1.5; 95% CI, 0.7-3.3; P = 0.85). The difference in objective response rates between the groups was not statistically significant (durvalumab 9.7% vs. physician's choice chemotherapy 18.8%; difference -9.1%; 95% CI, -31.3% to 12.9%; P = 0.83). Fewer all-grade (35.5% vs. 68.8%) and high-grade (9.7% vs. 31.3%) treatment-related adverse events were observed for durvalumab. PD-L1 combined positive score (CPS)+ was observed in 28.9% (CPS ≥1%) and 10.5% (CPS ≥10%) of patients. PIK3CA mutations were associated with time to progression on durvalumab ≥12 weeks [relative risk (mutated vs. wild-type) 2.83; 95% CI, 1.16-14.17].

conclusionsDurvalumab was well-tolerated but did not improve efficacy outcomes compared with chemotherapy in rOCCC.
