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

backgroundEndometrial cancer (EC) is a genomically heterogeneous malignancy with diverse immune microenvironment profiles. Although POLE mutations and MSI-H status are established predictors of immunotherapy response, additional composite biomarkers that integrate mutational burden and immune activation are needed. PCLO and SYNE1 are frequently mutated structural genes in EC, yet their cooperative significance remains unknown.

methodsWe analyzed 505 EC cases from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and 95 additional samples from the Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC), stratifying tumors based on PCLO and SYNE1 mutation status. Genomic, transcriptomic, immunologic, and clinical features were compared between co-mutation and non-co-mutation groups. Differential expression gene and pathway enrichment were conducted to identify immune-related transcriptional programs. Survival analysis and nomogram were performed to assess prognostic impact.

resultsPCLO and SYNE1 co-mutation defined a notable EC subtype with significant enrichment of POLE mutations, high tumor mutation burden (TMB), reduced aneuploidy, and elevated MSIsensor scores. Clinically, the overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and disease-free survival (DFS) of the co-mutation group was significantly improved. Moreover, the co-mutation group exhibited increased infiltration of CD8

conclusionsPCLO and SYNE1 co-mutation identifies a biologically distinct EC subset with heightened immunogenicity and superior prognosis. The co-mutation may serve as a robust, integrative biomarker for immune responsiveness and risk stratification in EC.
