Review in Current oncology reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

purpose of reviewTo explore the role of the tumor microenvironment (TME) in breast cancer, identify the changes that occur in the TME during breast cancer progression, and explore the possibility of modifying the TME to improve immune checkpoint inhibitor responses. RECENT

findingsEmerging evidence shows the TME may be shaped by internal and external factors. Preclinical data suggests it may be possible to shift the TME to allow for better immune infiltration. In this review, we summarize emerging evidence of changes in the TME and how it can affect prognosis and responses to therapy. We also examine pre-clinical and clinical research aiming at modulating TME to increase proportion of patients who benefit from immune checkpoint inhibitors. The composition of the TME in breast cancer is likely dynamic and may be altered. These changes may lead to more or less responses to immunotherapy.
