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 is one of the most lethal cancers among gynecological tumors, with most cases diagnosed at an advanced stage. Despite advancements in medical science, current therapeutic options remain somewhat constrained, leading to a persistently high mortality among patients. The tumor microenvironment (TME) critically drives ovarian cancer progression by orchestrating tumorigenesis, metastasis, and chemoresistance via intercellular crosstalk, metabolic reprogramming, and immunosuppression. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) and platelets are pivotal components of the ovarian cancer immune microenvironment. These components facilitate critical oncogenic processes, including tumor cell dissemination, immune evasion, and chemoresistance. Both TAMs and platelets have emerged as promising therapeutic targets. Furthermore, bidirectional crosstalk between platelets and TAMs dynamically shapes the immunosuppressive TME. This review synthesizes the roles and mechanisms of TAMs and platelets in ovarian cancer progression, discusses emerging therapeutic strategies targeting these components, and establishes a framework for advancing novel therapies in ovarian cancer treatment.
