Targeting synthetic lethality: an effective therapeutic approach in ovarian and endometrial cancers.
Review in Therapeutic advances in medical oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Synthetic lethality (SL) is a promising therapeutic concept that relies on the indirect targeting of vulnerabilities acquired through genetic mutations. Ovarian and endometrial cancers frequently exhibit mutations in the breast cancer (BRCA), phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN), AT-rich interactive domain-containing protein 1A (ARID1A) and TP53 genes, as well as DNA repair pathway deficiencies. Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPis) have demonstrated remarkable efficacy in various cancers with BRCA mutations and homologous recombination deficiency. In addition to PARPi, there has been an expansion of drugs exploiting the selective vulnerability of cancer cells via SL, such as WEE1 kinase and Ataxia Telangiectasia and Rad3-related protein (ATR). WEE1 inhibitors have shown encouraging results in combination with chemotherapy, increasing the objective response rate in patients with platinum-resistant TP53-mutated ovarian cancer. ATR inhibitors are currently being evaluated in ARID1A-mutated tumours, with preliminary results confirming their therapeutic potential.
