Review in Journal of the Egyptian National Cancer Institute, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02555657 (A Randomized Open-Label Phase III Study of Single Agent Pembrolizumab Versus Single Agent Chemotherapy Per Physician's Choice for Metastatic Triple Negative Breast Cancer), which is not on this map. Cited by 8 papers.

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.

Abstract

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) accounts for 10-20% of all breast cancers. These tumors are heterogeneous, highly aggressive, and associated with a poor prognosis and a high risk of recurrence. In both hematologic and solid malignancies, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have demonstrated the ability to enhance long-term survival and sustain robust anti-tumor responses. Immunotherapy has also been introduced as a treatment option for TNBC, a subtype characterized by a high presence of intra-tumoral tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and stromal immune cells. This heightened immune activity within TNBC serves as a prognostic marker, indicating a potential for better responses to immunotherapy due to increased tumor immune infiltration. This review provides an overview of the current landscape of immunotherapy in TNBC, exploring its rationale and application across different disease stages. Trial registration NCT02555657.
