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

In recent years, immunotherapy has modified the treatment landscape of advanced and recurrent endometrial cancer (a/rEC), particularly for patients with defective mismatch repair and microsatellite instability-high (dMMR/MSI-H), significantly improving their outcomes. Its success in later treatment lines has led to its investigation and adoption as a first-line therapy, alone or with chemotherapy. However, despite the high and long-lasting efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in dMMR/MSI-H EC, not all patients benefit from this treatment, and reasons underscoring primary resistance in this setting remain poorly understood and are not yet incorporated into clinical decision-making. Additionally, the correlation between ICI response, tumor mutational burden (TMB), and PD-L1 expression, well-documented in other tumors, appears inconsistent in EC. While proficient mismatch repair and microsatellite stable (MMRp/MSS) EC remain an unmet medical need, some patients within this group still respond to ICIs. Although several biomarkers, including
