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

Tumour-associated macrophages (TAM) are present in the majority of tumours, where they comprise one of the most abundant cell types, influencing tumour progression, metastasis, therapy resistance, and relapse. Hence, there is a great interest in targeting TAMs to improve and complement anti-cancer treatments. However, further studies are needed to validate the potential of exploiting TAM cell surface markers for cancer immunotherapy. Here, we review the function of TAMs, their involvement in tumorigenesis, metastasis, and therapy resistance. Furthermore, we summarize the current landscape of key TAM cell surface receptors that are being investigated as potential targets for cancer immunotherapy, highlighting the promise and challenges associated with these approaches.
