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

Background: Partial epithelial-mesenchymal transition (p-EMT) is a dynamic cellular state associated with metastasis and adverse outcomes in multiple cancers, but its prognostic significance in ovarian cancer remains unclear. This study aimed to develop and validate an ovarian cancer-specific transcriptomic signature based on p-EMT-related genes, and to determine whether this signature can improve prognostic stratification and overall survival prediction across independent cohorts. Methods: A pan-cancer p-EMT gene set was curated from ten published studies. Using transcriptomic and clinical data from TCGA-OV (n = 488), a six-gene p-EMT signature was developed via LASSO regression to generate a patient-specific risk score. The score was integrated with clinical variables to construct a prognostic nomogram and validated in the external GEO cohort GSE140082 (n = 380) and GSE165808 (n = 51). Results: A six-gene p-EMT transcriptomic signature (ADAM9, ANXA8L1, FSTL3, RABAC1, TPM4, and TWIST1) was significantly associated with overall survival (OS) and stratified patients into high- and low-risk groups (adjusted HR = 1.74, Conclusions: This six-gene p-EMT transcriptomic signature demonstrates prognostic value in ovarian cancer and offers potential for individualized risk stratification and clinical decisionsupport.
