Understanding the impact of spatial immunophenotypes on the survival of endometrial cancer patients through the ProMisE classification.
Article in Cancer immunology, immunotherapy : CII, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectivesWe focused on how the immunophenotypes based on the distribution of CD8-positive tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) relate to the endometrial cancer (EC) molecular subtypes and patients' prognosis. PATIENTS AND
methodsTwo cohorts of EC patients (total n = 145) were analyzed and categorized using the Molecular Risk Classifier for Endometrial cancer (ProMisE): POLEmut (POLE mutation), MMRd (mismatch repair deficiency), NSMP (no specific molecular profile), and p53abn (p53 abnormality). CD8-positive TILs, within the central tumor and the invasive margin, were examined by using immunohistochemical staining and advanced image-analysis software. It was investigated whether these immunophenotypes correlate with the molecular subtypes and patients' survival. RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) was used to explore tumor-derived factors influencing these immunophenotypes.
resultsThree distinct immunophenotypes (inflamed, excluded, and desert) based on the CD8-positive TIL patterns were identified in EC patients. Notably, the inflamed phenotype was most frequently observed in the POLEmut and MMRd subtypes, while the desert phenotype was predominant in the NSMP subtype; however, other immunophenotypes were also observed. All p53abn subtype showed the non-inflamed (excluded or desert) phenotype. The prognosis was markedly poorer in the patients with the non-inflamed phenotype than in those with the inflamed phenotype. The RNA-seq analysis showed that the expression of MYC target genes and type-1 interferon response genes was enriched in the non-inflamed phenotype in MMRd and NSMP subtypes, respectively.
conclusionEvaluating not only the molecular classification but also the immunophenotype may lead to more personalized immunotherapy in EC and elucidating the mechanisms that underlie the formation of the three immunophenotypes could lead to the discovery of new immunotherapy targets.
