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

backgroundHigh-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC) causes high mortality rates worldwide due to its insidious onset and poor prognosis. The statuses of hormone receptors (ER/PR) have been shown to have significant prognostic value in hormone-related tumors such as breast cancer, but their roles in HGSC remain unclear.

methodsThis study retrospectively analyzed the relationship between estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) expression status, clinical features, and survival outcomes in 176 patients with HGSC. Kaplan-Meier analysis and univariate and multivariate Cox regression were used to identify prognostic factors. Propensity score matching (PSM) was applied to control for confounding, and a nomogram incorporating ER/PR status and other independent prognostic factors was developed. Internal validation was performed using repeated stratified 5-fold cross-validation and 1,000-bootstrap resampling.

resultsER/PR expression status was significantly associated with survival. The ER(+)/PR(+) group had the best prognosis, whereas the double-negative group had the worst. Combined ER/PR expression remained an independent prognostic factor in multivariate analysis (HR = 11.610, 95% CI: 6.225-21.653). The nomogram showed good predictive performance for 1-, 3-, and 5-year OS, with favorable discrimination and calibration in internal validation.

conclusionCombined ER/PR expression status is an independent prognostic factor in HGSC. A nomogram integrating ER/PR status with clinicopathological variables may provide a practical tool for individualized risk assessment.
