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
Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecologic malignancy in developed countries. The antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) sacituzumab govitecan (SG) targets trophoblast cell-surface antigen-2 (Trop-2) - a cell-surface glycoprotein highly expressed in many epithelial tumors - and delivers the active metabolite of irinotecan SN-38 to Trop-2-positive tumor cells. We evaluated Trop-2 expression in endometrial endometrioid carcinoma (EC) tissues and the activity of SG against primary poorly differentiated EC cell lines and xenografts. Trop-2 expression was assessed in 143 formalin-fixed-paraffin-embedded tumors and seven primary tumor cell lines by immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry, respectively. Cell viability of primary tumor cell lines was assessed following exposure to SG, or control antibodies. Antibody-dependent cell cytotoxicity (ADCC) against Trop-2-positive and Trop-2-negative EC cell lines was measured in vitro using 4-h chromium release assays. A Trop-2-positive EC xenograft model was used to determine the in vivo activity of SG. Moderate-to-strong staining was detected in 84% (120/143) of EC samples, whereas 43% (3/7) of the primary EC cell lines tested overexpressed Trop-2. EC cell lines overexpressing Trop-2 were significantly more sensitive to SG compared to control ADC (P = 0.014 and P = 0.005). Both SG and the unconjugated parental antibody hRS7 mediated high ADCC against Trop-2-positive cell lines. Moreover, SG induced significant bystander killing of Trop-2-negative tumors cocultured with Trop-2-positive tumors. In the xenograft model, intravenous administration of SG twice weekly for three weeks was well tolerated and demonstrated impressive tumor growth inhibition against poorly differentiated, chemotherapy-resistant EC xenografts (P = 0.011). In summary, SG is a novel ADC with remarkable preclinical activity against poorly differentiated EC cell lines overexpressing Trop-2. These findings warrant future clinical trials.
