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

Cancer cells undergo significant metabolic reprogramming to support rapid growth, survival under stress, and resistance to therapies. As our understanding of tumor metabolism and the tumor microenvironment (TME) deepens, there is growing interest in exploiting metabolic vulnerabilities as therapeutic strategies. This review explores key alterations in metabolic pathways, including glucose, amino acid, lipid, nucleotide metabolism, and mitochondrial function, and highlights their impact on tumor progression, the TME, and immune cell function. In addition, the review discusses emerging strategies aimed at targeting these metabolic pathways with a focus on nanomaterial-based therapies. This includes the use of nanoparticles and drug delivery systems designed to modulate immunometabolism within cancer. These innovative approaches aim to reprogram the TME, enhance immune responses, and improve the targeted delivery of therapeutic agents to tumor sites, offering new ways to overcome conventional therapeutic resistance. Finally, the review also addresses the foreseeable challenges and potential future developments in this field, outlining the opportunities and obstacles that must be addressed for the clinical translation of these strategies in cancer therapy.
