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 tumor microenvironment (TME) comprises non-cancerous cells, extracellular matrix, and signaling molecules that interact with tumor cells. These dynamic interactions critically influence tumor development, progression, metastasis, and treatment response. Cancer-associated adipocytes (CAAs), as a main component of the tumor-adipose microenvironment (TAME), have various functions, including remodeling the extracellular matrix and interacting with tumor cells or infiltrated leukocytes through a variety of mutual signals. Dysfunctional adipocytes can release different metabolic substrates, adipokines and cytokines to affect the activity and function of immune cells in TME, especially T cells, thus promoting the proliferation, progression, invasion and migration of cancer cells. In this review, we summarize the effects of secretions of adipocytes on the activity and function of different types of T cells in TME, and discuss the possible targets of adipocytes in cancer therapy to provide new ideas for anti-cancer therapy by targeting adipocytes.
