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

The interaction between tumor cells and macrophages in the tumor microenvironment plays an essential role in metabolic changes in macrophages and reprograms them towards a pro-tumorigenic phenotype. Increasing evidence indicates that macrophage metabolism is a highly complex process and may not be as simple as previously thought. Pro-inflammatory stimuli switch macrophages towards an M1-like phenotype and rely mainly on aerobic glycolysis and fatty acid synthesis, whereas anti-inflammatory stimuli switch macrophages towards an M2-like phenotype. M2-like macrophages depend more on oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) and fatty acid oxidation. However, this metabolically reprogrammed phenotypic switch in macrophages remained a mystery for a while. Therefore, through this review, we tend to describe how macrophage immunometabolism determines macrophage phenotypes and functions in tumor microenvironments (TMEs). Furthermore, we have discussed how metabolic reprogramming in TAM can be used for therapeutic intervention and drug resistance in ovarian cancer.
