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.

Abstract

Ovarian high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC) is one of the deadliest gynecological malignancies, with 10%-15% of patients exhibiting primary resistance to first-line chemotherapy. To characterize the molecular drivers of chemo-refractoriness, we perform multi-omics profiling of treatment-naive biopsies from patients with refractory HGSC enrolled in the DECIDER observational trial. We demonstrate that chemo-refractory HGSC is characterized by diminished interferon type I (IFN-I) and enhanced hypoxia pathway activity, and baseline IFN-I activity in chemo-naive cancer is an independent prognostic factor. Single-cell RNA sequencing and spatial protein profiling analyses corroborate the importance of elevated IFN-I activity in response to chemotherapy. Importantly, in vitro experiments demonstrate that high levels of IFN-I signaling increase cell chemosensitivity to platinum in a cell-autonomous manner. Together, these findings indicate that the IFN-I pathway activity in HGSC cancer cells predicts response to first-line chemotherapy in HGSC, proposing the stimulation of the IFN-I response as a therapeutic strategy. The study is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT04846933).
