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

objectiveTo explore the characteristics and survival outcomes of ovarian squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and the treatment effectiveness of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs).

methodsPatients diagnosed with ovarian SCC at Peking Union Medical College Hospital between January 2000 and September 2023 were included. Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Univariate and multivariate analysis of OS were performed using the Cox proportional hazards model.

resultsA total of 42 patients were included, with a median age of 51.5 years (range, 23-74). The majority had SCC arising from teratomas (54.8%), followed by endometriosis (14.3%) and Brenner's tumor (2.4%). Patients undergoing molecular testing exhibited a median tumor mutation burden (TMB) of 10.00 mutations/Mb (range, 7.28-46.86), predominantly featuring

conclusionThe prognosis for ovarian SCC remains unfavorable. The stage and age were prognostic predictors for survival. ICIs may be beneficial for patients with ovarian SCC, particularly those with a high TMB.
