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

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), characterized by the lack of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) expression, is a highly aggressive molecular subtype with high recurrence and metastasis rates. Due to the absence of reliable molecular targets, surgery combined with chemotherapy remains the mainstay of clinical treatment. In recent years, immunotherapy has provided new strategies for TNBC management. Immune checkpoints are key regulatory molecules that maintain immune homeostasis, and blocking these checkpoints can restore T cell activity and enhance tumor cell killing. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have demonstrated clinical benefit, particularly in combination with chemotherapy for patients with locally advanced or metastatic TNBC. This review focuses on immune checkpoint-based immunotherapy in TNBC, providing an overview from mechanistic insights to clinical applications and emerging therapeutic strategies. In addition to ICIs, we discuss alternative approaches, such as bispecific antibodies, antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) therapy, tumor vaccines, and oncolytic viruses (OVs), highlighting their current research progress and clinical applications in TNBC treatment.
