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

Ovarian cancer (OC) is the gynecological malignancy with the poorest prognosis. Surgery and chemotherapy are the primary therapies for OC; however, patients often experience recurrence. Given the intimate interaction between OC cells and the tumor microenvironment (TME), it is imperative to devise treatments that target both tumor cells and TME components. Recently, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels in the blood have been shown to correlate with poorer prognosis in individuals with OC. Ovarian carcinoma cells express FSH receptors (FSHRs). Thus, FSH is an important target in the development of novel therapeutic agents. Here, we review the effects of FSH on normal physiology, including the reproductive, skeletal, cardiac, and fat metabolic systems. Importantly, this review outlines the role and mechanism of the FSH/FSHR axis in the proliferation, survival, and metastasis of OC, providing theoretical support for the targeted FSHR treatment of OC. Current progress in targeting FSHR for OC, including the recent application of nanotechnology and immunotherapy, is presented. Finally, we discuss prospects and future directions of targeted FSHR therapy in OC.
