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

Alternative splicing (AS) is a crucial post-transcriptional regulatory mechanism that is frequently disrupted in cancer, leading to the generation of tumor-specific splice variants. These aberrant splicing events, often driven by mutations in splice sites or splicing factors (SFs), produce abnormal mRNA transcripts and protein isoforms that contribute to tumor initiation, progression, and immune evasion. Recent advancements in cancer immunotherapy have positioned AS-derived neoantigens as a novel and promising class of tumor-specific targets. These neoepitopes significantly expand the pool of immunogenic antigens for mRNA vaccines and adoptive cell transfer therapies, triggering robust and targeted anti-tumor immune responses. This review offers a comprehensive overview of the molecular mechanisms driving the generation of AS-derived neoantigens, their tumorigenic and immunological properties, and the antigen processing and presentation pathways involved. Additionally, we discuss emerging therapeutic strategies that exploit these neoantigens, such as splicing modulation and personalized immunotherapies, while also addressing current challenges and future prospects for translating AS-derived neoantigens into precision cancer immunotherapy.
