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

Prostate cancer (PCa) remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related morbidity and mortality in men worldwide, and therapeutic resistance-particularly to immunotherapy-continues to limit clinical efficacy. Mounting evidence has positioned the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) as a core driver of disease progression and a formidable barrier to effective immune-based interventions. In this review, we present a comprehensive and multi-dimensional analysis of the cellular, stromal, and molecular constituents of the immunosuppressive TME in PCa, highlighting its significant heterogeneity and context-dependent functions. We emphasize recent breakthrough insights obtained through single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), spatial multi-omics, and high-dimensional imaging technologies, which are redefining our understanding of tumor-immune-stromal interactions. Based on these mechanistic findings, we examine precision therapeutic strategies aimed at remodeling the TME, including combinatorial immune checkpoint blockade, metabolic reprogramming, cytokine network regulation, and advanced nanomedicine-based delivery systems. Finally, we discuss translational opportunities and future research directions, underscoring the necessity of integrating advanced omics technologies with biomarker-driven clinical trial design to enable individualized, precision interventions and improve survival outcomes for patients with PCa.
