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

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is defined based on the absence of estrogen, progesterone, and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 receptors. Currently, chemotherapy is the major therapeutic approach for TNBC patients; however, poor prognosis after a standard chemotherapy regimen is still commonplace due to drug resistance. Abnormal tumor metabolism and infiltrated immune or stromal cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME) may orchestrate mammary tumor growth and metastasis or give rise to new subsets of cancer cells resistant to drug treatment. The immunosuppressive mechanisms established in the TME make cancer cell clones invulnerable to immune recognition and killing, and turn immune cells into tumor-supporting cells, hence allowing cancer growth and dissemination. Phytochemicals with the potential to change the tumor metabolism or reprogram the TME may provide opportunities to suppress cancer metastasis and/or overcome chemoresistance. Furthermore, phytochemical intervention that reprograms the TME away from favoring immunoevasion and instead towards immunosurveillance may prevent TNBC metastasis and help improve the efficacy of combination therapies as phyto-adjuvants to combat drug-resistant TNBC. In this review, we summarize current findings on selected bioactive plant-derived natural products in preclinical mouse models and/or clinical trials with focus on their immunomodulatory mechanisms in the TME and their roles in regulating tumor metabolism for TNBC prevention or therapy.
