Hypofractionated short course radiation therapy for recurrent ovarian cancer.
Article in Gynecologic oncology reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
backgroundWhile chemotherapy has largely replaced radiation therapy in upfront treatment of ovarian cancer, radiation has shown potential in the recurrent setting where chemoresistance, toxicities, and patient preferences may limit other treatment options. Hypofractionated radiation therapy (HFRT) is a highly conformal radiation therapy in which higher doses of radiation are delivered per treatment with the goal of fewer treatments.
objectivesTo evaluate treatment response and survival for patients with recurrent ovarian cancer treated with HFRT and to evaluate treatment toxicity.
methodsThis was a retrospective cohort study of patients who received HFRT for the treatment of recurrent ovarian cancer at a single, large academic institution. Patient demographics, tumor characteristics, and treatment history details of the HFRT were collected via electronic medical record chart review. Outcomes including treatment response, survival and toxicity profile were analyzed. Treatment response was defined by RECIST 1.1 criteria. Toxicities were defined using the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group Criteria.
results22 patients were reviewed. 1 patient (4.55%) had a complete response, 8 patients (36%) had a partial response, 7 patients (32%) had stable disease and 3 patients (14%) had progressive disease, and 3 patients (14%) were unevaluable by RECIST 1.1 criteria after treatment with HFRT. Mean progression free survival (PFS) was 11.5 months and overall survival (OS) was 28.7 months. HFRT was well-tolerated with no Grade 3 or 4 toxicities. The majority of patient's had one to two lesions which were targeted for treatment.
conclusionsFor well-selected patients, particularly those with oligometastatic disease, HFRT should be considered as an additional treatment option for recurrent ovarian cancer.
