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

purpose of reviewConventional and novel applications of Poly(adenosine diphosphate [ADP]-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors (PARPi) are reviewed in the context of recently published clinical trials and preclinical data supporting rapidly expanding uses of this class of chemotherapy. RECENT

findingsPARPi block a pathway of DNA repair and target defects in homologous recombination repair (HRR), a pathway responsible for high-fidelity repair of double-strand breaks in DNA. BRCA1/2 proteins are essential to this pathway. Approximately 15-30% of women with ovarian cancer will have a germline or somatic BRCA mutation, and PARPi have shown promise in this population in a variety of settings. With growing understanding of the HRR pathway and its role in gynecologic malignancies, the potential applications of PARPi continue to expand. While the role of PARPi in gynecologic malignancies is most established in ovarian cancer, there are also promising applications in uterine and cervical cancer. We review current indications for PARPi use and promising applications of these medications in gynecologic malignancies.
