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

In the current review, we aim to elucidate the advancements concerning the roles and fundamental mechanisms of intermittent fasting (IF) and fasting-mimicking diet (FMD) in cancers. As a dietary intervention, IF and FMD potentially impede tumor growth by modulating multiple signaling pathways, such as AKT, Nrf2, and AMPK pathways. Moreover, IF and FMD have been reported to be associated with the tumor immune response by regulating various immune cells including tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), monocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), T cells, and B cells. Additionally, IF and FMD can enhance the efficacy and tolerability of therapy, concurrently reducing therapy-induced side effects. Furthermore, several clinical trials have underscored the safety, feasibility, and positive impact on the quality of life associated with IF and FMD, thereby augmenting the effectiveness of conventional anti-- tumor therapies while ameliorating treatment-related side effects. This review provides a comprehensive synthesis of findings and elucidates the underlying mechanisms of IF and FMD in cancer progression and therapy.
