Polyamine metabolism and anti-tumor immunity.
Review in Frontiers in immunology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Growing attention has been directed toward the critical role of polyamines in the tumor microenvironment and immune regulation. Polyamines, primarily comprising putrescine, spermidine, and spermine, are tightly regulated through coordinated biosynthesis, catabolism, and transport, with distinct metabolic patterns between normal and cancerous tissues. Emerging evidence highlights the pivotal role of polyamine metabolism in tumor initiation, progression, and metastasis. This review aims to elucidate the differences in polyamine biosynthesis, transport, and catabolism between normal and cancerous tissues, as well as the associated alterations in tumor epigenetic modifications and resistance to immune checkpoint blockade driven by polyamine metabolism. Polyamine metabolism influences both tumor cells and the tumor microenvironment by modulating immune cell phenotypes-shifting them towards either tumor suppression or immune evasion within the tumor immune microenvironment. Additionally, polyamine metabolism impacts immunotherapy through its regulation of key enzymes. This review also explores potential therapeutic targets and summarizes the roles of polyamine inhibitors in combination with immunotherapy for cancer treatment, offering a novel perspective on therapeutic strategies.
