Bacteria and fungi: The counteracting modulators of immune responses to radiation therapy in cancer.
Article in Cancer cell, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
In this issue of Cancer Cell, Shiao et al. reveal the counteracting role of bacteria and fungi in antitumoral immune responses to radiation therapy (RT). While bacterial depletion impairs the response, fungal depletion improves efficacy of RT. An interplay between innate and adaptive immunity is implicated and orchestrated by Dectin-1.
