Olaparib-induced hyperglycemia in ovarian cancer patients - a case series analysis of a three-month therapy with a consideration of BMI.

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
backgroundOlaparib is a relatively new poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor (PARPi) administered to ovarian cancer (OC) patients with a complete or partial response to first-line chemotherapy. One of the metabolic side effects of olaparib is the disruption of glucose homeostasis, often resulting in hyperglycemia The study was a retrospective analysis of olaparib-induced hyperglycemia in OC patients with initial normoglycemia following the first, second, and third month of olaparib treatment
methodsThe study involved 32 OC patients, classified into three groups according to their Body Mass Index (BMI): normal BMI (BMI 18.5-24.9 kg/m
resultsA significant increase in glycemia was observed after the first and second cycles of olaparib treatment in the group with normal BMI and after the third cycle in overweight and obese patients. There were no significant differences in glucose levels among the groups following the first, the second, and the third cycle. Grade 1 hyperglycemia with impaired fasting glucose levels (5.6-6.9 mmol/l) was found in 15 patients (normal BMI: n = 4, overweight: n = 9, and obesity: n = 2), while glycemia typical of diabetes (≥ 7.0 mmol/l) was observed in one obese patient.
conclusionsRegardless of the weight of OC patients, it is essential to control glycemia during olaparib treatment.
