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

objectiveUterine carcinosarcoma (UCS) is a rare and aggressive type of endometrial carcinoma (EC), and novel therapeutic strategies are needed. We sought to assess TROP2 expression in archival UCSs and TROP2 antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) targeting in patient-derived UCS organoid (PDO) and xenograft (PDX) models.

methodsTROP2 protein (immunohistochemistry) and mRNA (qRT-PCR) expression were assessed in 72 archival UCS tissues. Nine UCS PDO models were established and molecularly characterized by panel sequencing; then, TROP2 levels were determined and the efficacy of the TROP2 ADC sacituzumab govitecan (SG) defined in the UCS PDO and PDX models (n = 2).

resultsTROP2 protein and mRNA expression were detected in ≥90 % of primary UCSs, and those with a predominant carcinomatous component or with homologous differentiation had higher TROP2 expression than those with a predominant sarcomatous component or with heterologous differentiation (p < 0.001 and p = 0.022, respectively). UCS PDOs displayed TROP2 expression and molecular profiles (median 88 %, range 50-100 % of mutation in primary UCSs present in PDOs) reflective of their respective primary UCSs. All 9 UCS PDOs responded in a dose-dependent manner to SG treatment, with a median IC

conclusionsWe demonstrate that the majority of UCSs have detectable TROP2 expression. Our findings on the SG response in UCS PDO and PDX models warrant further studies on TROP2 targeting for patients with this aggressive disease.
