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 (OC) is the second leading cause of death among gynecologic malignancies and exhibits marked histological and molecular heterogeneity. Advances in tumor biology and targeted therapies have increased the need for accurate biomarker characterization. This updated consensus by the Spanish Society of Medical Oncology (SEOM) and the Spanish Society of Pathology (SEAP) reviews key morphological and molecular features for diagnosis and providing recommendations for biomarker assessment across major OC subtypes. The document addresses classical serum biomarkers, prognostic tools, and genomic alterations with therapeutic implications, including homologous recombination deficiency (HRD), BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations, mismatch repair status, as well as other established and emerging biomarkers. Emphasis is placed on optimal sample selection, validated techniques, and multidisciplinary integration is required to ensure diagnostic quality. These recommendations aim to optimize prognostic stratification and guide personalized treatment strategies, ultimately improving clinical outcomes in ovarian cancer.
