X-box Binding Protein 1 is a Potential Immunotherapy Target in Ovarian Cancer.

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
The allure of potentially dramatic and durable responses to immunotherapy has driven the study of several immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) agents in ovarian cancer. However, the results of ICI therapy in ovarian cancer have been rather disappointing. It is important to understand the reasons for the poor efficacy of ICI in ovarian cancer and to look for new targets for immunotherapy. To solve this problem, ovarian cancer-associated datasets were individually collected from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA)、International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC)、Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx), and comprehensively performed to expression, prognostic, pathological correlation, genomic and immunologic analyses of reported all immune checkpoints by Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis 2 (GEPIA2), Tumor and Immune System Interaction Database (TISIDB), cBio Cancer Genomics Portal (cBioPortal), and Kaplan-Meier Plotter. We concluded that those well-identified immune checkpoints might not be ideal targets for ovarian cancer immunotherapy. Intriguingly, the genomic alteration of X-box binding protein 1 (XBP1), the important mediator of chemotherapy-induced cancer immunogenic cell death, was found to be a potential coregulator of immune checkpoints in ovarian cancer. Importantly, XBP1 was detected to be highly expressed in ovarian cancer compared with normal ovarian tissue, and high XBP1 expression significantly benefits both overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) of ovarian cancer patients. More importantly, XBP1 was further observed to be closely related to anti-tumor immunity in ovarian cancer, including multiple T-cell signatures and immunity-killing molecules. In conclusion, upregulating XBP1 rather than targeting immune checkpoints represents a potentially more efficient approach for ovarian cancer therapy.
