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

Breast cancer is one of the most common malignancies in women and is characterized by active immunogenicity. Immune cell infiltration plays an important role in the development of breast cancer. The degree of infiltration influences both the response to and effect of treatment. However, immune infiltration is a complex process. Differences in oxygen partial pressure, blood perfusion and nutrients in the tumor microenvironment (TME) suggest that infiltrating immune cells in different sites experience different microenvironments with corresponding changes in the metabolic mode, that is, immune cell metabolism is heterogenous in the TME. Furthermore, the present review found that lipid metabolism can support the immunosuppressive microenvironment in breast cancer based on a review of published literature. Research in this field is still ongoing; however, it is vital to understand the metabolic patterns and effects of different microenvironments for antitumor therapy. Therefore, this review discusses the metabolic responses of various immune cells to different microenvironments in breast cancer and provides potentially meaningful insights for tumor immunotherapy.
