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

The concept of "platinum sensitivity" has long guided prognostic assessment and treatment selection in recurrent ovarian cancer. However, the emergence of targeted agents, such as bevacizumab and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors, has complicated its clinical utility. In contrast, emerging evidence suggests that platinum sensitivity may also be applicable to recurrent endometrial cancer. As in ovarian cancer, a prolonged platinum-free interval (PFI) in recurrent endometrial cancer is associated with an improved efficacy of subsequent platinum-based chemotherapy. The PFI is linearly correlated with the response rate to platinum re-administration, progression-free survival, and overall survival. Patients are typically classified as having platinum-resistant or platinum-sensitive disease based on a PFI cutoff of 6 or 12 months. However, unlike in ovarian cancer-where the duration of response to second-line platinum-based chemotherapy rarely exceeds the prior PFI (~3%)-approximately 30% of patients with recurrent endometrial cancer exhibit a sustained response to platinum rechallenge that extends beyond their preceding PFI. Despite the incorporation of immune checkpoint inhibitors into the treatment landscape of endometrial cancer, the role of platinum sensitivity in clinical decision-making-particularly regarding treatment sequencing and drug selection-remains a critical and unresolved issue. Further research is warranted to elucidate the mechanisms underlying platinum resistance and to guide optimal therapeutic strategies.
