Bibliometric analysis of ovarian cancer immune evasion research from 2015 to 2024.
Synthesis in Frontiers in oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Ovarian cancer remains lethal and shows limited response to immunotherapy partly due to immune evasion. We mapped global research trends on ovarian cancer immune evasion during 2015-2024. Methods: Web of Science Core Collection and Scopus were searched on 6 Oct 2025 for English articles and reviews published 1 Jan 2015-31 Dec 2024. Records were merged and deduplicated in R (bibliometrix). Productivity, collaboration, keywords, thematic clusters, and burst terms and citations were analyzed using bibliometrix, VOSviewer, and CiteSpace. Results: A total of 496 publications from 202 sources were included, showing rapid growth (annual growth rate ~24.6%) with a marked rise after 2020. The United States and China contributed the most output, whereas international collaboration was limited (~9.7% of authors with multiple-country affiliations). Keyword co-occurrence revealed major themes in immunotherapy, tumor microenvironment remodeling, immune checkpoint regulation, resistance mechanisms, and genetic/epigenetic modulation. Emerging hotspots highlighted tumor-associated macrophages and STAT3-centered signaling as key drivers of immune suppression and therapeutic resistance. Conclusion: Research on ovarian cancer immune evasion is expanding quickly and is shifting toward actionable targets and combination strategies. Strengthening cross-country collaboration and focusing on TME- and STAT3/TAM-directed interventions may accelerate translation and improve immunotherapy outcomes.
