Dynamic host immunity and PD-L1/PD-1 blockade efficacy: developments after "IFN-γ from lymphocytes induces PD-L1 expression and promotes progression of ovarian cancer".
Review in British journal of cancer, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 27 papers.
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
In the article titled "IFN-γ from lymphocytes induces PD-L1 expression and promotes progression of ovarian cancer" in 2015, we showed that PD-L1 expression is induced by IFN-γ from lymphocytes in the tumour microenvironment. This article proposed that PD-L1 expression in cancer cells is not stable but varies among cases, or even within a case, which is influenced by the stromal infiltration of cytotoxic lymphocytes. Immune-checkpoint inhibitors, especially anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapies, are now widely used to treat various types of cancer. Predictive biomarkers for the efficacy of immune-checkpoint inhibitors include PD-L1 expression, MSI/mismatch repair deficiency and high tumour mutation burden. However, clinical trials have proven that their use in ovarian cancer is still challenging. Reliable biomarkers and new treatment strategies may be sought by elucidating the complex immune microenvironment of ovarian cancer. Although the interaction between cytotoxic lymphocytes and PD-1/PD-L1 on tumour cells is at the centre of therapeutic targets, other immune checkpoints and various immunosuppressive cells also play important roles in ovarian cancer. Targeting these role players in combination with PD-1/PD-L1 blockade may be a promising therapeutic strategy.
