Prostate tumor immune microenvironment changes following immunotherapy shared by patients who developed anti-tumor response or immune-related adverse events.
Article in Oncoimmunology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02499835 (Pilot Trial of pTVG-HP DNA Vaccine and Pembrolizumab in Patients With Castration-Resistant, Metastatic Prostate Cancer), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
Checkpoint inhibitors targeting PD-1/PD-L1 have revolutionized cancer immunotherapy, yet their efficacy in prostate cancer has been limited. We previously reported a clinical trial (NCT02499835) evaluating PD-1 blockade combined with an anti-tumor DNA vaccine, pTVG-HP (encoding prostatic acid phosphatase), in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. Decreases in serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels were observed in 35% of patients, and 42% of patients developed immune-related adverse events (irAE). In long-term follow-up, any decrease in PSA or the development of an irAE was associated with prolonged overall survival (
