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

purposeIncreasing genomics-based evidence suggests that synchronous endometrial and ovarian cancer (SEOC) represents clonally related primary and metastatic tumors. A systematic analysis of the global protein landscape of SEOCs, heretofore lacking, could reveal functional and disease-specific consequences of known genetic alterations, the directionality of metastasis, and accurate histologic markers to distinguish SEOCs from single-site tumors. EXPERIMENTAL

designWe performed a systematic proteogenomic analysis of 29 patients diagnosed with SEOC at three international gynecologic oncology treatment centers (Chicago, Vancouver, and Tübingen). For direct comparison with single-site tumors, we included 9 patients with single-site endometrioid ovarian and 26 patients with single-site endometrioid endometrial cancer (EEC). For all 64 patients, we performed sequencing of a 275-gene cancer panel combined with compartment-resolved mass spectrometry-based proteomics of consecutive tissue sections to compare global (6,000+ proteins), tumor, and stromal proteomes.

resultsDNA-based panel sequencing confirmed that most SEOCs are clonally related. Global proteome profiling uncovered pronounced differences between SEOCs and single tumors and underscored the importance of the stromal proteome in defining and identifying SEOCs. We identified molecularly unique SEOC stromal proteomes, which were globally more related to single endometrial cancers. We finally derived a proteomic predictor distinguishing SEOCs from single-site ovarian and uterine tumors.

conclusionsThe integrated proteogenomic data show that SEOCs are distinguishable from endometrioid endometrial or endometrioid ovarian cancer. Based on their proteogenomic similarity to EECs, we conclude that most SEOCs represent primary EECs that have metastasized to the ovary.
