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

Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecological malignancy in Europe and North America. Metastatic and recurrent disease is generally incurable with poor prognosis. Recent advances in molecular profiling of endometrial cancer have elucidated four distinct molecular subtypes with different biology and prognosis which should facilitate the development of treatments tailored to disease-specific subgroups. To date, some molecular-targeted agents have shown interesting clinical activity in the recurrent setting, but no targeted therapies are approved for endometrial cancer. Novel pan-PI3K, AKT, and dual PI3K-mTOR inhibitors are being investigated with early signs of activity, but there are concerns about tolerability and toxicity in this often elderly patient population with comorbidities. The development of anti-angiogenic therapies, PARP inhibitors, and immunotherapies, alone or in combinations, appear to be promising strategies. This paper will describe the current evidence supporting the efficacy of molecular-targeted agents already tested in the treatment of metastatic and recurrent EC, and provide some insights on emerging data related to novel-targeted therapies.
