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

Serous endometrial carcinoma (SEC) is one of the most lethal types of uterine cancer, responsible for about 40% of all endometrial cancer-related deaths. Cell state dynamics during the early stages of SEC remain largely unknown, thereby hindering early detection and treatment of this disease. Here, we provide a comprehensive census of cell types and their states for normal, predysplastic, and dysplastic endometrium in a genetic mouse model of SEC. We report that predysplastic changes are characterized by increasingly diverse immature luminal epithelial cell populations. The decrease in differentiated cell states is accompanied by the emergence of a 'single-cell and spatial transcriptome dysregulation' gene signature. This signature contains seven genes that predict poor patient prognosis and are promising diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets. In summary, our results suggest an important role of the luminal epithelial cell state in SEC pathogenesis and validate our mouse SEC model as a capable comparative platform for preclinical studies. © 2025 The Pathological Society of Great Britain and Ireland.
