Review in Molecular cancer, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07187284 (Evaluating Endervascular Denervation), which is not on this map. Cited by 41 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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.

Abstract

The study of the multifaceted interactions between neuroscience and cancer is an emerging field with significant implications for understanding tumor biology and the innovation in therapeutic approaches. Increasing evidence suggests that neurological functions are connected with tumorigenesis. In particular, the peripheral and central nervous systems, synapse, neurotransmitters, and neurotrophins affect tumor progression and metastasis through various regulatory approaches and the tumor immune microenvironment. In this review, we summarized the neurological functions that affect tumorigenesis and metastasis, which are controlled by the central and peripheral nervous systems. We also explored the roles of neurotransmitters and neurotrophins in cancer progression. Moreover, we examined the interplay between the nervous system and the tumor immune microenvironment. We have also identified drugs that target the nervous system for cancer treatment. In this review we present the work supporting that therapeutic agent targeting the nervous system could have significant potential to improve cancer therapy.
