The role of immune checkpoint molecules in cancers.
Review in Frontiers in immunology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Immune checkpoint molecules play a central role in regulating T cell function, maintaining immune homeostasis, and facilitating tumor immune evasion, making them critical targets in cancer immunotherapy. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the structural characteristics and signaling mechanisms of key co-inhibitory and co-stimulatory molecules, and their immunoregulatory roles in both solid tumors and hematological malignancies. Recent advances in the clinical application of immune checkpoint inhibitors, combination therapy strategies, and mechanisms of resistance are discussed. Furthermore, the importance of multi-target combinatorial approaches and personalized immune modulation is emphasized, offering valuable insights and directions for optimizing cancer immunotherapy strategies.
