Neutrophils in cancer: from biology to therapy.
Review in Cellular & molecular immunology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 37 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 view of neutrophils has shifted from simple phagocytic cells, whose main function is to kill pathogens, to very complex cells that are also involved in immune regulation and tissue repair. These cells are essential for maintaining and regaining tissue homeostasis. Neutrophils can be viewed as double-edged swords in a range of situations. The potent killing machinery necessary for immune responses to pathogens can easily lead to collateral damage to host tissues when inappropriately controlled. Furthermore, some subtypes of neutrophils are potent pathogen killers, whereas others are immunosuppressive or can aid in tissue healing. Finally, in tumor immunology, many examples of both protumorigenic and antitumorigenic properties of neutrophils have been described. This has important consequences for cancer therapy, as targeting neutrophils can lead to either suppressed or stimulated antitumor responses. This review will discuss the current knowledge regarding the pro- and antitumorigenic roles of neutrophils, leading to the concept of a confused state of neutrophil-driven pro-/antitumor responses.
