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

Background: The exploration of genetic signatures within the ovarian cancer (OC) tumor microenvironment (TME) remains limited. M2-like tumor-associated macrophages (M2-like TAMs) are pivotal in OC progression and therapy. This study aims to establish a novel prognostic signature and identify M2-like TAM-related biomarkers in OC using RNAseq-based transcriptome analysis. Methods: Prognostic M2-like TAM-related genes were identified through univariate Cox regression, consensus clustering, and LASSO regression. Immune landscape analysis was conducted to assess immune cell composition and immune checkpoint genes in high- and low-risk groups. Subsequently, Results: Gene set enrichment analysis revealed that GNA15 is involved in immune responses like leukocyte transendothelial migration and FcγR-mediated phagocytosis. GNA15 was up-regulated in cisplatin-resistant OC cells, and its Conclusion: GNA15 plays an immunosuppressive role in OC progression linked to M2-like TAMs polarization and stands as a potential prognostic marker in OC.
