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

High-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) is a heterogeneous disease with diverse clinical outcomes, highlighting a need for prognostic biomarker identification. Here, we combined tumor microenvironment (TME) scores with HGSOC characteristics to identify immune-related prognostic genes through analysis of gene expression profiles and clinical patient data from The Cancer Genome Atlas and the International Cancer Genome Consortium public cohorts. We found that high TME scores (TMEscores) based on the fractions of immune cell types correlated with better overall survival. Furthermore, differential expression analysis revealed 329 differentially expressed genes between patients with high vs. low TMEscores. Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analyses showed that these genes participated mainly in immune-related functions and, among them, 48 TME-related genes predicted overall survival in HGSOC. Seven of those genes were associated with prognosis in an independent HGSOC database. Finally, the two genes with the lowest
