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 development of cancers and their response to radiation are intricately linked to the tumor microenvironment (TME) in which they reside. Tumor cells, immune cells, and stromal cells interact with each other and are influenced by the microbiome and metabolic state of the host, and these interactions are constantly evolving. Stromal cells not only secrete extracellular matrix and participate in wound contraction, but they also secrete fibroblast growth factors (FGF), which mediate macrophage differentiation. Tumor-associated macrophages migrate to hypoxic areas and secrete vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) to promote angiogenesis. The microbiome and its byproducts alter the metabolic milieu by shifting the balance between glucose utilization and fatty acid oxidation, and these changes subsequently influence the immune response in the TME. Not only does radiation exert cell-autonomous effects on tumor cells, but it influences both the tumor-promoting and tumor-suppressive components in the TME. To gain a deeper understanding of how the TME influences the response to radiation, the American Society for Radiation Oncology and the American Association of Cancer Research organized a scientific workshop on July 26-27, 2018, to discuss how the microbiome, the immune response, the metabolome, and the stroma all shift the balance between radiosensitivity and radioresistance. The proceedings from this workshop are discussed here and highlight recent discoveries in the field, as well as the most important areas for future research.
