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

Many cancer management approaches including immunotherapies can not achieve desirable therapeutic efficacies if targeting tumors alone or could not effectively reach tumor cells. The concept of tumor microenvironment and its induced gene reprogramming have largely extended our current understandings on the determinants of tumor initiation/progression and fostered our hope in establishing first-line therapies targeting cancer microenvironment or adjuvant therapies enhancing the efficacies of existing oncotherapeutic modalities such as immunotherapies for efficient cancer management. This review identifies key indexes of tumor microenvironment, i.e., hypoxia, acidosis, hypo-nutrition and inflammation, which collectively determine the feature and the fate of adjacent tumor cells, and proposes cold atmospheric plasma, the fourth state of matter that is largely composed of various reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, as a promising tool for tumor microenvironment editing. We propose that cold atmospheric plasma represents an emerging onco-therapeutic strategy alone or complementing existing treatment approaches given its multi-modal nature through tumor microenvironment modulation.
