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

Ovarian cancer (OC), particularly high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC), is among the most lethal gynecologic malignancies, with its therapeutic challenges primarily stemming from a distinctly immunosuppressive tumor immune microenvironment (TIME). Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) has emerged as a crucial treatment strategy for advanced ovarian cancer; nevertheless, its impact on the tumor microenvironment-especially on tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs)-is not yet fully understood. As central mediators of antitumor immune responses, the density, composition, and dynamic changes of TILs are strongly associated with chemotherapy response and patient prognosis. Notably, spatial omics studies further revealed that, after NACT, a subset of CD8+ T cells can be confined within "myelonets" microdomains organized by myeloid cells, where interactions such as NECTIN2-TIGIT impose spatial restriction and induce functional exhaustion of T cells, thereby compromising their effective tumor killing. This review aims to systematically summarize the baseline characteristics and heterogeneity of lymphoid- and myeloid-derived TILs in ovarian cancer, elucidate the mechanisms underlying immune remodeling induced by NACT and their complex relationships with clinical outcomes, and further discuss combination therapeutic strategies and biomarker development based on dynamic TIL changes to enhance the clinical application of precision immunotherapy.
