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.

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.

Abstract

objectiveRecognition of homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) has revolutionized ovarian cancer (OC) treatment paradigm. Our study aimed to determine the prevalence of HRD in Taiwanese patients with high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC), high-grade endometrioid ovarian cancer (HGEOC), primary peritoneal cancer (PPC), and/or fallopian tube cancer (FTC).

methodsThe HALO-Taiwan, a cross-sectional, noninterventional study (NCT04991051) enrolled patients with stage III/IV HGSOC, HGEOC, PPC, or FTC having formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tumor tissue blocks collected within the past 120 days of enrollment. The primary outcome was the prevalence of HRD. The secondary outcomes included prevalence of

resultsOf 68 patients (median age [range]: 60.0 [39.0-81.0] years) enrolled, the majority (92.6%) had primary OC followed by PPC (2.9%) and FTC (4.4%). The overall prevalence of HRD was 52.9%; 14.7% had tumor

conclusionThe HALO-Taiwan was the first observational study reporting HRD prevalence of 52.9% among patients with advanced OC in Taiwan. Our findings underscore the need to implement guideline-recommended testing for HRD as a part of the initial diagnostic work-up for all newly-diagnosed advanced high-grade OC patients to optimize treatment strategies.
