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

Endometrial cancer is one of the most common gynecological malignancies, and while early-stage cases are highly treatable, recurrent or advanced EC remains challenging to manage. Immunotherapy, particularly immune checkpoint inhibitors, has revolutionized treatment approaches in oncology, and its application in EC has shown promising results. Key to immunotherapy efficacy in EC is the tumor's mismatch repair status, with MMR-deficient tumors demonstrating a higher tumor mutational burden and increased PD-L1 expression, making them more susceptible to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) such as pembrolizumab, durvalumab, and dostarlimab. However, not all mismatch repair-deficient (MMRd) tumors respond to ICIs, particularly those with a "cold" tumor microenvironment (TME) characterized by poor immune infiltration. In contrast, some MMR-proficient tumors with a "hot" TME respond well to ICIs, underscoring the complex interplay between MMR status, tumor mutational burden (TMB), and TME. To overcome resistance in cold tumors, novel therapies, including Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T cells and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes are being explored, offering targeted immune-based strategies to enhance treatment efficacy. This review discusses the current understanding of immunotherapy in EC, emphasizing the prognostic and therapeutic implications of MMR status, TME composition, and emerging cell-based therapies.
