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

objectiveThe PAOLA-1 trial demonstrated that olaparib plus bevacizumab (OB) significantly prolonged progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) compared to bevacizumab monotherapy (BM) as first-line maintenance therapy for patients with advanced ovarian cancer (AOC) who had homologous recombination deficiency (HRD)-positive status at high risk of disease progression (HRisk-HRD

methodsA state-transition Markov model over a 20-year lifetime horizon was developed to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of OB compared to BM. The willingness-to-pay (WTP) thresholds were set at 1 to 3 times the gross domestic product per capita of China in 2024 ($13444.68 to $40334.05/QALY). The primary outcomes included total costs, quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs), and incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs). Subgroup analysis, sensitivity analysis and scenario analyses were performed to validate the robustness of the study.

resultsCompared with BM, the ICERs of OB were $10806.70/QALY, $10478.80/QALY and $25114.44/QALY in the HRisk-HRD

conclusionsCompared to BM, OB demonstrated superior cost-effectiveness as first-line maintenance therapy for patients with HRisk-HRD
