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
purposeMirvetuximab soravtansine (MIRV) is an antibody-drug conjugate targeting the folate receptor α (FRα), approved for FRα-positive platinum-resistant ovarian cancer based on improved progression-free and overall survival and higher response rates compared with standard therapy in the MIRASOL trial. The aim of the present study was to provide a health economic evaluation of MIRV from the perspective of the statutory health insurance in Germany. METHODS AND
findingsA Markov state-transition model with three health states (stable, progressive, dead) was used with a time horizon of fives years. Transition probabilities were derived from published Kaplan-Meier survival curves of the MIRASOL trial. Direct costs and literature-based utilities were applied. Cost-effectiveness was assessed using the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) and the incremental cost-utility ratio (ICUR). Deterministic and probabilistic sensitivity analyses addressed the uncertainty of the model. In the base case, MIRV resulted in an incremental gain of 0.408 life years (LYs) or 0.226 quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) compared to standard therapy. Incremental costs of €128,338.84 were incurred. This resulted in an ICER of €314,753.36 per additional LYs and €567,734.77 per QALY. All analyzed scenarios exceeded the defined threshold, of three times the German gross domestic product per capita, with the drug price having the greatest influence.
conclusionMIRV is highly likely to be a more effective treatment option than the chemotherapies currently available for patients with FRα-positive, platinum-resistant ovarian cancer, as approximately 75-90% of ovarian cancers are FRα-positive. However, in the current circumstances, MIRV is unlikely to be considered cost-effective within the German healthcare context without reduction in the drug price.
