Unveiling trends and clinical progress of immunotherapy for endometrial cancer: a scientometric and clinical trial landscape analysis.
Review in Frontiers in immunology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: Endometrial cancer (EC) is a heterogeneous and increasingly prevalent malignancy characterized by distinct molecular subgroups that exhibit fundamentally different immune profiles. These immunologic differences shape tumor-immune interactions, influence responsiveness to immunotherapy, and underscore the importance of biologically informed treatment strategies. As the clinical application of immune checkpoint inhibitors expands, understanding the mechanistic and translational landscape of immunotherapy in EC has become essential for guiding precision oncology. Methods: We systematically retrieved 836 immunotherapy-related publications on EC from the Web of Science Core Collection (1999-2024) and conducted a scientometric analysis using VOSviewer and CiteSpace. Analyses included publication trends, country and institutional collaborations, author networks, and keyword clustering. Furthermore, we screened 391 clinical trials from ClinicalTrials.gov and ICTRP databases to assess the clinical research landscape. Results: Publication output and clinical trials on EC immunotherapy have shown a continuous upward trend over the past two decades. The United States and China emerged as leading contributors in both publications and pivotal clinical trials. Among the most frequently co-cited references, clinical studies account for a significant proportion, particularly those published in the last five years. The landscape reflects a shift toward immune checkpoint blockade and combination therapy strategies, with some clinical trials demonstrating promising efficacy. Conclusion: Our integrated scientometric and clinical trial analysis reveals a rapid evolution in EC immunotherapy research, highlighting checkpoint blockade as a central therapeutic approach. The trend toward combination regimens underscores the translational potential of immunotherapy in EC and points toward emerging directions for future research and clinical application.
