1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Ovarian cancer remains the most lethal gynecological malignancy worldwide, with late-stage diagnosis, high recurrence rates, and chemoresistance posing persistent clinical challenges. Adoptive cell therapy (ACT), a rapidly advancing immunotherapeutic strategy, offers promising efficacy with low systemic toxicity and has emerged as a compelling option to address these limitations. This review provides a comprehensive overview of ACT modalities-including tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CAR-T), natural killer (NK) cells, and other emerging cellular therapies such as TCR-T, cytokine-induced killer (CIK) cells, and γδ T cells-in the context of ovarian cancer. We highlight the mechanistic underpinnings of ACT, the immunosuppressive features of the ovarian tumor microenvironment, and cutting-edge advances in combinatorial regimens, genetic engineering, and cell design aimed at overcoming therapeutic resistance. In particular, we discuss antigen specificity, tumor immune evasion, and stromal barriers, and summarize current clinical trial progress, efficacy outcomes, and translational barriers. Together, these insights underscore the transformative potential of ACT in ovarian cancer and outline future directions for personalized and scalable immunotherapies.
