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

purposeOvarian cancer (OC) is frequently diagnosed at a late, advanced stage, resulting in poor survival outcomes. PARP inhibitors like niraparib have shown significant efficacy in high-grade OC, particularly in tumors with homologous recombination deficiency, including BRCA mutations. This study aimed to evaluate dose modifications, safety, tolerability, and the impact on quality of life associated with niraparib in real-world clinical practice.

methodsThis non-interventional, register-based study included patients with platinum-sensitive recurrent OC who received niraparib as part of the compassionate-use program (CUP) in Germany. Clinical baseline characteristics, treatment data, adverse events (AEs), and quality-of-life measures were collected both prospectively and retrospectively across 14 centers. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistical methods.

resultsOverall, 68 female patients were enrolled in the CUP register. Most patients had good performance status, with no significant comorbidities or concomitant medications. The most frequently reported AEs associated with niraparib were thrombocytopenia, fatigue, and nausea. Approximately half of patients required dose adjustments. AEs were less common in patients with normal physical examination findings, better ECOG performance status, and absence of comorbidities. Prior use of PARP inhibitors or previous treatment-related side effects increased the likelihood of AEs during niraparib therapy. The median treatment duration was 182 days, with disease progression being the most common reason for discontinuation.

conclusionNiraparib treatment within the German CUP demonstrated favorable safety and tolerability profiles, supporting its effectiveness in a real-world setting for patients with recurrent OC. These findings are consistent with results from clinical trials, further reinforcing the role of niraparib in this patient population.
