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

Gliomas are the most common primary malignant tumours of the central nervous system (CNS), which are highly aggressive, with increasing morbidity and mortality rates year after year, posing a serious threat to the quality and expected survival time of patients. The treatment of gliomas is a major challenge in the field of neuro-oncology, especially high-grade gliomas such as glioblastomas (GBMs). Despite considerable progress in recent years in the study of the molecular and cellular mechanisms of GBMs, their prognosis remains bleak. Tumour-associated macrophages (TAMs) account for up to 50% of GBMs, and they are a highly heterogeneous cell population whose role cannot be ignored. Here, we focus on reviewing the contribution of classically activated M1-phenotype TAMs and alternatively activated M2-phenotype TAMs to GBMs, and exploring the research progress in reprogramming M1 TAMs into M2 TAMs.
