Current status of research on the mechanisms of tumor-associated macrophages in esophageal cancer progression.
Review in Frontiers in oncology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Esophageal carcinoma (EC) is one of the most common tumors in China and seriously affects patient survival and quality of life. In recent years, increasing studies have shown that the tumor microenvironment is crucial in promoting tumor progression and metastasis. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) are key components of the tumor immune microenvironment and promote both tumor growth and antitumor immunity. Much evidence suggests that TAMs are closely associated with esophageal tumors. However, understanding of the clinical value and mechanism of action of TAM in esophageal cancer remains limited. Therefore, we reviewed the status of research on the role and mechanism of action of TAM in EC progression and summarized its potential clinical application value to provide a theoretical basis for the clinical treatment of EC.
