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 substantially influences cancer progression by mediating complex interactions between immune cells, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, and mesenchymal cells. Recent studies have identified a critical component of this ecosystem, double-positive cells (DPCs), which are characterized by simultaneously expressing two markers that are traditionally confined to completely different cell lineages or cell types. In this review, we demonstrated DPCs' formation principles, characterization, classification, functions, and clinical significance. We underscore the multifaceted contributions of DPCs in enhancing tumor invasiveness, facilitating immune evasion, and promoting drug resistance. Understanding the significance of targeting DPCs could open new avenues for therapeutic interventions in cancer treatment.
