Opportunities, challenges, and future perspectives of oncolytic virus therapy for malignant melanoma.
Review in Frontiers in immunology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Malignant melanoma is characterized by high heterogeneity, aggressive metastatic potential, and a profoundly immunosuppressive "cold" tumor microenvironment, contributing to broad therapeutic resistance and suboptimal responses to immunotherapy. Conventional PD-1 inhibitors yield an ORR of only 38%. As an emerging class of immunotherapeutic agents, oncolytic viruses (OV) induce ICD, promoting the release of DAMPs and activating innate immune pathways such as cGAS-STING, thereby transforming "cold" tumors into "hot" phenotypes and eliciting robust anti-tumor responses. Mechanistically, OV therapy increases the proportion of CD103
