Genomic characterization of five commonly used endometrial cancer cell lines.
Article in International journal of oncology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 29 papers.
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
Recently, the compilation of massive amounts of genetic and genomic information on a wide variety of human cancer types, collectively known as The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), has revealed a wealth of descriptive classification schemes both within and between different types and sources of cancer. In endometrial cancer, TCGA analyses have produced a post hoc scheme composed of four clusters: DNA polymerase ε catalytic subunit A (POLE) ultra‑mutated (cluster 1), microsatellite instability (MSI) hypermutated (cluster 2), copy‑number low (endometrioid, cluster 3) and copy‑number high (serous‑like, cluster 4). Given that cultured cells are the pre‑clinical platform of cancer research, it was questioned how representative endometrial cancer cultured cell lines are in the context of TCGA‑driven classification scheme. To address this issue in endometrial cancer cell lines, the present study investigated five commonly used cell lines: Ishikawa, ECC‑1, Hec50co, KLE And RL95‑2. The histology, mutation profile, MutL homolog 1 promoter methylation, copy‑number variation, homologous recombination repair and microsatellite instability in each of these cell lines was assessed. The result of this characterization was that none of the cell lines fits neatly into any one of TCGA classes but are still useful models for groups of endometrial tumors. Furthermore, the contention that the ECC‑1 cell line is actually Ishikawa was addressed using additional data. It was confirmed that ECC‑1 cells likely no longer exist as ECC‑1 but that they are not exactly Ishikawa either. For this reason, ECC‑1 cells are suggested to be used in vitro but with this caveat in mind. Finally, we compiled a database of 127 endometrial cancer cell lines, including the five reported on here. The wide range of variation found in these cell lines highlights the need to further characterize these cells to select models that are more representative of the various histological and genomic aspects of endometrial cancer.
