Hunger Pains: Stimulating the Appetite of the Immune System for Cancer.
Article in Cancer cell, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
In this issue, Pietrocola et al. and Di Biase et al. independently demonstrate that caloric restriction from fasting and pharmacologic inhibition results in an enhanced immunogenic response leading to reduced tumor growth. These two studies provide an exciting connection between the emerging fields of cancer and immune metabolism.
