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

Lipid metabolism reprogramming has long been noticed as the hallmark of ovarian cancer, in order to maintain proliferative features including rapid cell division, metastasis capability, and chemotherapy resistance, as well as to survive under environmental stress, alteration of lipid metabolic pathways takes place, especially over-expression of rate-limiting enzymes, enhances lipid uptake, fatty acid synthesis, β-oxidation, lipid storage, and cellular membrane construction. In lipid-rich ascites and omental tumor microenvironments, the biological functions of stromal and immune cells change, forming a premetastatic niche and immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment via modifying extracellular matrix components and secreting cytokines. The crosstalk between stromal, immune, and ovarian cancer cells results in tumor proliferation, metastasis, and escape of immune surveillance. Given the importance of lipid metabolism for ovarian cancer survival, targeting lipid metabolism key enzymes in ovarian cancer or stromal tumor microenvironment may bring novel insights for ovarian cancer treatment.
