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

Endothelial cells (ECs) that line blood vessels act as gatekeepers and shape the metabolic environment of every organ system. In normal conditions, endothelial cells are relatively quiescent with organ-specific expression signatures and metabolic profiles. In cancer, ECs are metabolically reprogrammed to promote the formation of new blood vessels to fuel tumor growth and metastasis. In addition to EC's role on tumor cells, the tortuous tumor vasculature contributes to an immunosuppressive environment by limiting T lymphocyte infiltration and activity while also promoting the recruitment of other accessory pro-angiogenic immune cells. These elements aid in the metastatic spreading of cancer cells and contribute to therapeutic resistance. The concept of restoring a more stabilized vasculature in concert with cancer immunotherapy is emerging as a potential approach to overcoming barriers in cancer treatment. This review summarizes the metabolism of endothelial cells, their regulation of nutrient uptake and delivery, and their impact in shaping the tumor microenvironment and anti-tumor immunity. We highlight new therapeutic approaches that target the tumor vasculature and harness the immune response. Appreciating the integration of metabolic state and nutrient levels and the crosstalk among immune cells, tumor cells, and ECs in the TME may provide new avenues for therapeutic intervention.
