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

Ovarian function suppression (OFS) is essential in the treatment of premenopausal patients with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. However, during therapy with gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogs (GnRHa), some patients may experience a phenomenon known as "ovarian escape" in which levels of gonadotropins and estradiol return to premenopausal ranges, indicating partial or complete recovery of ovarian function. This phenomenon may markedly compromise the efficacy of endocrine therapy and increase the risk of breast cancer recurrence and disease progression. At present, there is no universally accepted or standardized definition for "ovarian escape" nor are there recognized diagnostic criteria. In clinical research, a serum estradiol threshold of 2.72 pg/mL is frequently employed as a reference standard for effective OFS. Systematic reviews have shown that different studies report varying incidence rates, diagnostic methods, and interpretations regarding its clinical significance, further adding to the complexity of this issue. Therefore, this review aims to systematically analyze key topics related to "ovarian escape" including its underlying mechanisms, potential risk factors, clinical consequences, and feasible management strategies, with the goal of providing scientific evidence and guidance for clinical practice.
