A Computational Modeling Approach to Investigate the Influence of Hyperthermia on the Tumor Microenvironment.
Article in Journal of visualized experiments : JoVE, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
The biophysical properties of the tumor microenvironment differ substantially from normal tissues. A constellation of features, including decreased vascularity, lack of lymphatic drainage, and elevated interstitial pressure, diminishes the penetration of therapeutics into tumors. Local hyperthermia within the tumor can alter microenvironmental properties, such as interstitial fluid pressure, potentially leading to improvements in drug penetration. In this context, multi-physics computational models can provide insight into the interplay between the biophysical parameters within the tumor microenvironment and can guide the design and interpretation of experiments that test the bioeffects of local hyperthermia. This paper describes a step-by-step workflow for a computational model coupling partial differential equations describing electrical current distribution, bioheat transfer, and fluid dynamics. The main objective is to study the effects of hyperthermia delivered by a bipolar radiofrequency device on the interstitial fluid pressure within the tumor. The system of mathematical expressions linking electrical current distribution, bioheat transfer, and interstitial fluid pressure is presented, emphasizing the changes in the distribution of the interstitial fluid pressure that could be induced by the thermal intervention.
