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

Endometrial cancer (EC) of no specific molecular profile (NSMP) subtype lacks specific molecular features, and the relationship of tumor microenvironment (TME) and relapse in NSMP EC remains incompletely understood. This study integrates single-nucleus RNA sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and multiplex immunohistochemistry to elucidate the TME and mechanisms of relapse in NSMP EC. The results showed reduced immune infiltration and increased immune-suppressive cells, including SPP1+ macrophages and regulatory T cells (Tregs) in NSMP EC. More epithelial cell clusters with high stemness scores are observed in primary NSMP EC tumors collected before recurrence. In NSMP EC, tip endothelial cells and MMP11+ LEF1+ cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are linked with angiogenesis and epithelial-mesenchymal transition, and CD4+ T cells remain in a stress-response state and are functionally impaired. Interestingly, a subset of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) characterized by SPP1 expression is discovered, which may remodel the tumor microenvironment by potentially promoting CD4+ T cells stress and maintaining epithelial cells stemness through SPP1-CD44, thereby potentially contributing to the proliferation and migration of tumor cells, which has verified by in vitro experiments. This study advances the mechanistic understanding of recurrence-related TME and provides a foundation for the development of personalized treatments for NSMP EC patients.
