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

High-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC) is the most common ovarian cancer subtype, typically diagnosed at late stages with poor prognosis. Understanding early molecular events driving HGSC progression is crucial for timely detection and development of effective treatment strategies. We performed and integrated spatial cell-type resolved proteomics and paired transcriptomics across 25 women with precursor lesions of the fallopian tube and/or HGSC. Epithelial cell signatures revealed early activation of SUMOylation machinery, increased ATR and Wnt signaling, and enhanced MHC-I antigen presentation along the disease trajectory. The stroma exhibited extracellular matrix remodeling and interferon-mediated inflammation. Serous tubal intraepithelial carcinomas (STICs) in cancer patients contained a pro-coagulative signature and reduced APOA1/2 compared to STICs in individuals without cancer. We functionally established important roles of epithelial-derived TRIP13 and SUMOylation, and cancer-associated fibroblast-derived SULF1 and BGN in HGSC progression. These findings provide unique molecular insights into HGSC pathogenesis and identify potential new therapeutic targets for intervention.
