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

objectiveThis study explored new insights into the selection criteria for maintenance therapy for platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer by comparing the efficacy of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPis) and bevacizumab in patients with a history of PARPi administration.

methodsBetween April 2014 and December 2024, 81 patients underwent maintenance therapy with either PARPi (52 patients) or bevacizumab (29 patients) at our institution. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS) after the end of the last chemotherapy treatment.

resultsThe median PFS did not differ significantly between the PARPi and bevacizumab groups (9 vs. 12 months, p=0.942). Similarly, in the propensity score-matched cohort (15 pairs), no significant difference was observed between the PARPi and bevacizumab groups (p=0.444). In the PARPi group, a history of PARPi administration was associated with a significant difference in PFS in both univariate and multivariate analyses (PARPi-naïve vs. PARPi-experienced: 12 vs. 4 months, p=0.002; hazard ratio=3.24, 95% confidence interval=1.56-6.69). In the bevacizumab group, a history of PARPi administration was not associated with a significant difference in PFS. Among patients with a history of PARPi administration, the bevacizumab group had a significantly better PFS than the PARPi group (PARPi rechallenge vs. bevacizumab: 4 vs. 12 months, p=0.042), and the proportion of patients experiencing platinum-resistant recurrence during maintenance therapy was higher in the PARPi rechallenge group (58.8%) than in the bevacizumab group (20.0%) (p=0.049).

conclusionMaintenance therapy with bevacizumab may be more beneficial for patients with platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer who have a history of PARPi administration.
