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

Most high grade serous ovarian cancers (HGSOC) originate in the fallopian tube but spread to the ovary and peritoneal cavity, highlighting the need to understand antitumor immunity across HGSOC sites. Using spatial analyses, we discover that tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs) within ovarian tumors are less developed compared with TLSs in fallopian tube or omental tumors. We reveal transcriptional differences across a spectrum of lymphoid structures, demonstrating that immune cell activity increases when residing in more developed TLSs and produce a prognostic, spatially derived TLS signature from HGSOC tumors. We interrogate TLS-adjacent stroma and assess how normal mesenchymal stem cells MSCs (nMSCs) may support B cell function and TLS, contrary to cancer-educated MSCs (CA-MSCs) which negate the prognostic benefit of our TLS signature, suggesting that pro-tumorigenic stroma could limit TLS formation.
