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

Tumor metabolism plays a pivotal role in shaping immune responses within the tumor microenvironment influencing tumor progression, immune evasion, and the efficacy of cancer therapies. Radiotherapy has been shown to impact both tumor metabolism and immune modulation, often inducing immune activation through damage-associated molecular patterns and the STING pathway. In this study, we analyse the particular characteristics of the tumour metabolic microenvironment and its effect on the immune microenvironment. We also review the changes in the metabolic and immune microenvironment that are induced by radiotherapy, with a focus on metabolic sensitisation to the effects of radiotherapy. Our aim is to contribute to the development of research ideas in the field of radiotherapy metabolic-immunological studies.
