Clinical Application of Next-Generation Sequencing for Molecular Classification in the Management of Endometrial Cancer: An Observational Cohort Study.
Article in Cancers, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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/
objectivesEndometrial cancer (EC) is the most common malignancy of the female genital tract. In 2013, The Cancer Genome Atlas analyzed the molecular profile of endometrial tumors identifying four risk classes (POLE ultramutated, mismatch repair-deficient, copy-number low-microsatellite stable, and copy-number high-serous-like. This classification is reshaping the current understanding of EC, enabling more refined risk stratification and uncovering potential therapeutic targets tailored to specific molecular subgroups. In the context of these four categories, it is possible to identify different molecular alterations that correlate with different prognoses. METHODS AND
resultsWe retrospectively analyzed tissue samples from eighty-five EC patients, performing multigene profiling using a 50-gene next-generation sequencing (NGS) panel to categorize them into distinct molecular subtypes; we observed the following distribution: 5.9% POLE, 25.8% mismatch repair-deficient/microsatellite instability (MMRd/MSI), 11.8% p53abn/TP53mut, and 56.5% NSMP. A favorable concordance (97.6%) was shown in MSI NGS-based analysis and MMR IHC results, and the agreement rate of p53 IHC and
conclusionsOur study highlights the potential of a medium-complexity NGS panel for supporting the molecular classification of endometrial cancer, complementing the existing diagnostic algorithms. By identifying additional biomarkers, we provided valuable insights into the genomic landscape of EC. However, further exploration of the molecular profiles is needed to validate these findings and improve the identification of patients at a higher risk of unfavorable outcomes.
