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

The microenvironment in which tumor cells thrive constitutes a complex and dynamic system closely intertwined with tumors' occurrence, progression, metastasis, and drug resistance. As research in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for anticancer purposes advances, the holistic and multi-target regulatory principles of TCM have been proven highly suitable for modulating the tumor microenvironment (TME). Targeted therapy focusing on TME is poised to become a key area in future research on TCM's anticancer properties. This article provides an overview of TME characteristics and the current status of TCM's regulation of TME, offering insights into the application of TCM in anticancer research.
