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

The tumor microenvironment demonstrates great immunophenotypic heterogeneity, which has been leveraged in traditional immune-hot/cold tumor categorization based on the abundance of intra-tumoral immune cells. By incorporating the spatial immune contexture, the tumor immunophenotype was further elaborated into immune-inflamed, immune-excluded, and immune-desert. However, the mechanisms underlying these different immune phenotypes are yet to be comprehensively elucidated. In this review, we discuss how tumor cells and the tumor microenvironment interact collectively to shape the immune landscape from the perspectives of tumor cells, immune cells, the extracellular matrix, and cancer metabolism, and we summarize potential therapeutic options according to distinct immunophenotypes for personalized precision medicine.
