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

backgroundOvarian cancer (OC) is a leading cause of gynecologic cancer-related mortality, primarily due to frequent therapy resistance and disease recurrence. Growing evidence indicates that metabolic reprogramming serves as a critical adaptive mechanism, allowing cancer cells to survive therapeutic stress. AIM OF REVIEW: This review aims to decode the interplay between nutrient adaptation and therapy resistance in OC. It examines how alterations in key metabolic pathways contribute to treatment resilience and disease progression, and explores the potential of targeting metabolic vulnerabilities to improve therapeutic outcomes. KEY SCIENTIFIC CONCEPTS OF REVIEW: We discuss how OC cells utilize metabolic pathways-including glycolysis, OXPHOS, glutamine metabolism, and lipid utilization-to promote survival, DNA repair, and immune evasion. Metabolic plasticity enables shifts between nutrient sources, driving resistance to platinum-based agents, PARP inhibitors, and anti-angiogenic therapies. These adaptations vary across subtypes, such as high-grade serous and clear cell carcinomas, and are influenced by specific mutations. Targeting metabolic enzymes-such as GLS, CPT1, OXPHOS complexes, or NAD
