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 is more than just a collection of tumor cells. The complex tumor system, including the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME), is continually changing. Tumor cells are in constant communication with all stromal elements (e.g., fibroblasts, endothelial cells, and extracellular matrix) and immune effector cells (e.g., T cells, B cells, natural killer cells, dendritic cells, macrophages, and myeloid-derived suppressor cells). Together, these intricate interactions among cell and molecular signaling pathways collectively drive tumor growth, tumor invasion, and metastasis and significantly affect the efficacy of cancer treatments. Recent investigations, from a tumor-centric research paradigm to a complete evaluation of the local tumor microenvironment, have revealed the importance of the TIME. Although reviews in these fields typically focus on cellular/molecular breakdowns of the TIME and evasion of the immune system, a systematic study of its dynamic evolution is lacking. This review comprehensively discusses the major regulators and networks involved in the dynamic evolution of the TIME, the spatiotemporal dynamics of TIME components, metabolic reprogramming as an engine of TIME evolution, the targeting of metabolic regulators, and niches for TIME modulation, clinical and translational challenges, and future prospects. This information could help researchers explore the TIME and generate new therapeutic strategies.
