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) is increasingly recognized as a temporally organized ecosystem rather than a static structural niche. Circadian rhythms, generated by transcriptional-translational feedback loops involving CLOCK, BMAL1, PER, CRY, REV-ERB, and ROR, coordinate systemic physiology and local cellular programs that are directly relevant to tumor initiation, progression, and therapeutic response. In this review, we summarized how circadian regulation shapes tumor rhythmicity across multiple biological scales, from central clock-mediated synchronization to peripheral clocks within epithelial cells, stromal cells, adipocytes, and immune populations. Emphasis is placed on the spatiotemporal regulation of antitumor immunity within the TME. At the same time, dendritic cell migration, antigen presentation, CD8
