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

backgroundHigh-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSC) is the most lethal gynecologic malignancy characterized by resistance to chemotherapy and high rates of recurrence. HGSC tumors display a high prevalence of tumor suppressor gene loss. Given the type 1 interferon regulatory function of

methodsExpression of PTEN protein was evaluated in tissue microarrays generated using pretreatment tumors collected from a cohort of 110 patients with HGSC. Multiplex immunofluorescence staining was performed to determine spatial profiles and density of selected lymphoid and myeloid cells. In vivo studies using the syngeneic murine HGSC cell lines, ID8-

resultsPatient tumors with absence of PTEN protein exhibited a significantly decreased disease specific survival and intraepithelial CD68+ macrophage infiltration as compared with intact PTEN expression. In vivo studies demonstrated that

conclusionsThis study reveals the importance of considering the influence of cancer cell intrinsic genetic alterations on the TIME for therapeutic selection. We establish the rationale for the optimal incorporation of interferon activating therapies as a novel combination strategy in PTEN-deficient HGSC.
