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

Uveal melanoma (UM) is the most common primary intraocular malignancy in adults, presenting a significant clinical challenge due to its high metastatic potential and limited response to conventional systemic therapies. While immunotherapy has transformed the treatment landscape for numerous cancers, its effectiveness in UM has been substantially limited, primarily due to the tumor's distinct immune-evasive characteristics and a suppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). This review systematically examines the multiple mechanisms underlying immunotherapy resistance in UM, including low tumor mutational burden, immune checkpoint overexpression, metabolic adaptations, and the epigenetic silencing of immune-stimulatory genes. Additionally, we analyze emerging strategies aimed at modifying the TME to enhance immune recognition and response, which include targeting suppressive immune cell populations, addressing metabolic and hypoxic barriers, and utilizing epigenetic modulators to restore immune activation pathways. Furthermore, we highlight recent advances in identifying predictive biomarkers-such as genetic mutations (e.g.,
