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

Patients with ovarian carcinoma are at high risk of tumor recurrence. In the present study, 81 Notch pathway genes were selected to find recurrence-related genes in The Cancer Genome Atlas dataset. A 10-gene signature (FZD4, HES1, PSEN2, JAG2, PPARG, FOS, HEY1, CDC16, MFNG, and EP300) was identified and validated that is associated with recurrence-free survival time, but not with overall survival time, in the TCGA dataset and in other two independent datasets, GSE9891 and GSE30161. This gene signature gave a significant performance in discriminating patients at high risk of recurrence from those at low risk, as measured by the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve. Cox proportional hazards regression analyses demonstrated that the prognostic value of this 10-gene set is independent of other clinical variables in all three datasets. The potential as a biomarker for predicting high- and low-risk subgroups for recurrence in ovarian cancer patients deserves further investigation in prospective patient cohorts in the future.
