B7-H3 and GD2 overexpression as immunotherapeutic targets in retinoblastoma.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Retinoblastoma (RB) is the most prevalent malignant eye tumor in children. Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy showed significant promise in treating blood cancers and could potentially be effective for RB. A critical step toward advancing this therapy involves identifying surface antigens on RB cells. This study focuses on evaluating the expression of tumor antigens and immune checkpoint proteins in primary and secondary enucleated RB samples and analyzing their relationship with clinical and pathological data. We performed immunohistochemical analysis on 94 formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded RB tissue samples from Thai patients to assess the expression of B7-H3, GD2, CD171, and PD-L1. B7-H3 was the most frequently expressed antigen, appearing in 51.06% of samples (48/94) with mild to moderate membranous intensity. GD2 was present in 36.17% of samples (34/94) with moderate staining intensity. CD171 was detected in 9.57% of samples (9/94), showing weak to mild membranous intensity. PD-L1 was the least expressed, found in only 4.26% of samples (4/94) with mild to moderate membrane staining. There were no significant correlations between the expression of these antigens and patient characteristics. Our study emphasizes the variability in tumor antigen expression in RB. The notable expression of B7-H3 and GD2 suggests they could be promising targets for immunotherapy. These findings encourage further investigation into multi-specific or combination immunotherapies for treating retinoblastoma.
