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

Ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynecologic malignancy and the fifth leading cause of cancer-related death in women. Although outcomes have improved in recent years, there remains an unmet clinical need to understand the early pathogenesis of ovarian cancer in order to identify new diagnostic approaches and agents of chemoprevention and chemotherapy. While high grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC), the most abundant histotype, was initially thought to arise from the ovarian surface epithelium, there is an increasing body of evidence suggesting that HGSOC originates in the fallopian tube. With this new understanding of cell of origin, understanding of disease development requires analysis with a novel perspective. Currently, factors that drive the initiation and migration of dysplastic tubal epithelial cells from the fallopian tube to the ovary are not yet fully defined. These factors include common mutations to fallopian tube epithelial cells, as well as factors originating from both the fallopian tube and ovary which are capable of inducing transformation and dissemination in said cells. Here, we review these changes, their causative agents, and various potential means of intervention.
