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

Anticancer therapy can eliminate immune-visible tumour cells while simultaneously imposing selective pressures that favour residual immune-evasive populations. This mini-review conceptualizes therapy-induced immunoediting as a dynamic continuum comprising pre-existing escape, therapeutic immune activation, a selective bottleneck, residual equilibrium and secondary escape. We discuss how genetic alterations, therapy-resistant stem-like tumour-cell states and spatial remodelling of vascular, stromal and myeloid niches cooperate to reduce tumour visibility, effector susceptibility and immune-cell access. Representative approved and investigational therapies illustrate both successful pharmacological interception and the limitations of non-selective immune intensification. We further highlight residual equilibrium as a clinically actionable window that may be identified through longitudinal tissue sampling, circulating tumour DNA and spatial or single-cell profiling. Clinically, longitudinal biomarkers may identify residual equilibrium and guide mechanism-matched treatment adaptation before immune-evasive populations expand into radiographically evident relapse.
