How to Use Macrophages Against Cancer.
Review in Cells, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Numerous studies have demonstrated the significant influence of immune cells on cancer development and treatment. This study specifically examines tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), detailing their characteristics and roles in tumorigenesis and analyzing the impact of the ratio of TAM subtypes on patient survival and prognosis. It is established that TAMs interact with immunotherapy, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, thereby influencing the efficacy of these treatments. Emerging therapies are explored, such as the use of nanoparticles (NPs) for drug delivery to target TAMs and modify the tumor microenvironment (TME). Additionally, novel anticancer strategies like the use of chimeric antigen receptor macrophages (CAR-Ms) show promising results. Investigations into the training of macrophages using magnetic fields, plasma stimulation, and electroporation are also discussed. Finally, this study presents prospects for the combination of TAM-based therapies for enhanced cancer treatment outcomes.
