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

Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) remains a lethal epithelial malignancy. Immune-checkpoint inhibitors have entered management for recurrent/metastatic disease; yet durable benefit is confined to a subset, reflecting TGF-β-conditioned stromal barriers and organised T-cell exclusion. In this review we summarise advances from single-cell RNA and ATAC profiling and spatial transcriptomics that resolve fibroblast, tumour and immune programmes linked to TGF-β signalling, and appraise translational opportunities spanning selective pathway modulation, checkpoint combinations and spatial biomarkers. We also discuss enduring challenges-including site-specific heterogeneity across adnexal, omental and peritoneal niches, limited assay standardisation and a scarcity of predictive metrics-that temper implementation. By integrating TGF-β-informed readouts (e.g., INHBA
