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

Endocrine-related cancers are commonly diagnosed worldwide and are a major cause of cancer-related deaths. While current therapies are effective at earlier stages, they often fail in more advanced or recurring tumors due to the development of primary and secondary resistance. Therefore, new therapeutic approaches are urgently needed. In recent years, new therapeutic avenues, namely immunotherapy and epigenetic modulation, have been successfully explored in multiple cancer types. However, this success has not been observed in endocrine-related cancers. These tumors are considered immunologically cold, characterized by a low immunogenicity, scarce infiltration by immune cells, and highly immunosuppressive environment rendering them resistant to immunotherapy. Recent studies demonstrated the ability of epigenetic agents to simultaneously alter the behavior of tumor and immune cells, giving premise to combination approaches using epigenetic modulation to prime cancer for immunotherapy. This review provides an overview of the immune landscape of endocrine-related cancers and its main epigenetic regulators. We discuss current clinical trials investigating the effect of combination endocrine-related immunotherapy and their challenges to successfully treat endocrine-related cancers.
