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

Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) regulate an array of tumor functions and have critical roles in both the progression and the eradication of cancer. Numerous therapies targeting TAMs are under development in cancer and many have demonstrated success at the preclinical and clinical levels. Most of these therapies fall within 3 main categories: systemic depletion of TAMs, inhibition of TAM recruitment and polarization, and promoting the antitumor functions of TAMs. In this article, the rationale behind these various therapies and approaches is reviewed along with supporting preclinical and clinical data.
