The role of macrophages in anti-tumor immune responses: pathological significance and potential as therapeutic targets.
Review in Human cell, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
Malignant tumors comprise various types of normal cells and tumor cells, and are infiltrated by large numbers of immune cells, including macrophages. The results of numerous studies on the function and significance of intratumoral macrophages (tumor-associated macrophages) suggest that these macrophages generally enhance tumor progression rather than act as anti-tumor immune agents. Although much remains unknown, in this review, we attempt to describe the role of macrophages in the tumor microenvironment, and discuss their potential mechanisms on the recent immunotherapy.
