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

Cancer is closely related to lipid metabolism, with the tumor microenvironment (TME) containing numerous lipid metabolic interactions. Cancer cells can bidirectionally interact with immune and stromal cells, the major components of the TME. This interaction is primarily mediated by fatty acids (FAs), cholesterol, and phospholipids. These interactions can lead to various physiological changes, including immune suppression, cancer cell proliferation, dissemination, and anti-apoptotic effects on cancer cells. The physiological modulation resulting from this lipid metabolism-associated crosstalk between cancer cells and immune/stromal cells provides valuable insights into cancer prognosis. A comprehensive literature review was conducted to examine the function of the bidirectional lipid metabolism interactions between cancer cells and immune/stromal cells within the TME, particularly how these interactions influence cancer prognosis. A novel autophagy-extracellular vesicle (EV) pathway has been proposed as a mediator of lipid metabolism interactions between cancer cells and immune cells/stromal cells, impacting cancer prognosis. As a result, different forms of lipid metabolism interactions have been described as being linked to cancer prognosis, including those mediated by the autophagy-EV pathway. In conclusion, understanding the bidirectional lipid metabolism interactions between cancer cells and stromal/immune cells in the TME can help develop more advanced prognostic approaches for cancer patients.
