Myeloid cells in the era of cancer immunotherapy: Top 3 unanswered questions.
Review in Pharmacology & therapeutics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Myeloid cells are increasingly being recognized as central players orchestrating or suppressing antitumor immune responses. With the advent of high-resolution analytical methods such as single-cell technologies, we now appreciate the heterogeneity and complexity of the myeloid compartment in the context of cancer. Because of their highly plastic nature, targeting myeloid cells has shown promising results either as a monotherapy or in combination with immunotherapy in preclinical models and cancer patients. However, the complexity of myeloid cell cellular crosstalk and molecular networks contributes to our poor understanding of the different myeloid cell subsets in tumorigenesis, which makes targeting myeloid cells challenging. Here, we summarize varied myeloid cell subsets and their contribution to tumor progression with a main focus on mononuclear phagocytes. The top three unanswered questions challenging the field of myeloid cells and cancer in the era of cancer immunotherapy are addressed. Through these questions, we discuss how myeloid cell origin and identity influence their function and disease outcomes. Different therapeutic strategies used to target myeloid cells in cancer are also addressed. Finally, the durability of myeloid cell targeting is interrogated by examining the complexity of resultant compensatory cellular and molecular mechanisms.
