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

Gynecologic neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) is a rare and aggressive malignancy with limited treatment options and poor prognosis. Homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) is an established predictive biomarker for poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor response in ovarian cancer, but its clinical relevance in NEC remains unclear. Case presentation A 71-year-old woman presented with a large pelvic mass and multiple pulmonary metastases. Primary debulking surgery was performed, and histopathology revealed large-cell NEC (LCNEC) of presumed gynecologic origin. Postoperatively, the patient received paclitaxel-carboplatin plus bevacizumab. HRD testing demonstrated a high genomic instability score without BRCA1/2 mutations. After six cycles of chemotherapy, the pulmonary lesions showed a partial response. Maintenance therapy with bevacizumab plus olaparib was initiated, and the patient achieved complete radiologic remission, remaining disease-free for 1 year. Conclusion HRD-positive gynecologic NEC may respond to PARP inhibitor-based therapy even in the absence of BRCA mutations. HRD assessment may help identify patients with NEC who could benefit from targeted treatment strategies.
