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

In the era of precision medicine, the tailoring of cancer treatment is increasingly important as we transition from organ-based diagnosis towards a more comprehensive and patient-centric molecular diagnosis. This is particularly the case for high-grade serous adenocarcinomas of the ovary and peritoneum, which are commonly diagnosed at an advanced stage, and collectively treated and managed similarly. We characterized the N- and O-glycome of serous ovarian (OC) and peritoneal cancer (PC) tissues using PGC-LC-ESI-IT-MS/MS profiling and validated the discriminatory glycans and their corresponding glyco-gene expression levels using cell lines and transcriptomic data from 232 patients. Overall, the N- and O-glycan repertoires of both cancer types were found to comprise mostly of α2,6-sialylated glycan structures, with the majority of N-glycans displaying the biantennary mono- and disialylation as well as bisecting-type biantennary glycans. The MS profiling by PGC-LC also revealed several glycan structural isomers that corresponded to LacdiNAc-type (GalNAcβ1-4GlcNAc) motifs that were unique to the serous ovarian cancers and that correlated with elevated gene expression of B4GALNT3 and B4GALNT4 in patients with serous cancer. Statistical evaluation of the discriminatory glycans also revealed 13 N- and 3 O-glycans (P < 0.05) that significantly discriminated tumour-sampling sites, with LacdiNAc-type N-glycans (m/z 1205.0
