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

Ovarian cancer (OC) remains one of the most lethal malignancies affecting women, largely due to its asymptomatic onset and the consequent challenges in early detection and diagnosis. This often results in delayed treatment and poor clinical outcomes. Among gynecological cancers, OC exhibits the highest mortality rate. While current therapeutic approaches such as surgery and chemotherapy provide initial clinical benefit, they are frequently undermined by high rates of recurrence and metastasis. Moreover, the pronounced heterogeneity of OC further complicates treatment, highlighting the urgent need for novel therapeutic targets and more effective strategies. The forkhead box (FOX) family of transcription factors comprises a large group of proteins involved in regulating gene expression across various biological processes. Dysregulation of FOX family members has been implicated in aberrant cellular behaviors, including uncontrolled proliferation, resistance to apoptosis, enhanced invasiveness, metastatic potential, and the development of drug resistance. Importantly, the functional roles of individual FOX proteins vary significantly depending on the tumor context, reflecting the functional diversity of this family. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the emerging roles of FOX family members in the pathogenesis and progression of OC, as well as recent advances in FOX-targeted therapeutic strategies.
