ReviewOncoimmunology
Interaction of tumor-associated macrophages and cancer chemotherapy.
Review in Oncoimmunology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 201 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
It has been recently recognized that the tumor microenvironment (TME) is an essential factor that defines the efficiency of chemotherapy. The local TME, consisting of immune cells with diverse phenotypes and functions, can strongly modulate the response to chemotherapy. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) that display pronounced heterogeneity and phenotypic plasticity are the major innate immune component in the microenvironment of solid tumors. In our review, we elucidate the complex role of TAMs in the progression of different types of solid tumors, summarize the current knowledge about the effects of different anticancer chemotherapeutic agents on monocytes/macrophages, and describe the mechanisms of chemotherapy resistance mediated by TAMs.
