Mesothelin biology and the evolving landscape of targeted immunotherapy.
Review in Molecular therapy. Oncology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Due to its restricted expression in normal tissues, its frequent overexpression in various aggressive malignancies, and its involvement in several pro-tumorigenic signaling pathways, mesothelin, a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored cell surface protein, has been identified as a promising tumor-associated antigen. This review provides an up-to-date comprehensive overview regarding the role of mesothelin in cancer. It encompasses the protein structural characteristics, expression profiles, glycosylation patterns, shedding mechanisms, prognostic significance, and functional roles. Subsequently, therapeutic strategies targeting mesothelin that have advanced to clinical trial stage are discussed, including vaccine-based approaches, antibody-mediated immunotherapies, and cell therapies. The remaining challenges of mesothelin targeted treatments are highlighted, along with the ongoing options aimed at overcoming these limitations.
