Advancement in tumor treating fields of mechanism, clinical applications, and future directions.
Review in Discover oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Traditional cancer treatment modalities, such as surgical interventions, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, persist as the cornerstone of standard care across a wide array of clinical settings. Despite their established effectiveness in combating cancer, these therapies are inherently invasive in nature and have great side effects, which seriously affect the quality of life of patients. Tumor Treating Fields is a low-intensity intermediate-frequency alternating electric field. Based on the current clinical study of Tumor Treating Fields in brain tumors, The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) initially approved Tumor Treating Fields in 2015 for the treatment of newly diagnosed or relapsed glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) and in 2019 for the treatment of malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). However, Tumor Treating Fields is still not widely appreciated in the treatment of high-mortality cancers, and although the therapeutic effect of Tumor Treating Fields has been validated in cell experiments and clinical trials, how to optimize its therapeutic effect remains to be studied. In this paper, the mechanism of Tumor Treating Fields treatment and its clinical progress were reviewed, and the dosimetry and numerical simulation of individualized treatment were comprehensively summarized, in order provide new ideas for further clinical research of this treatment model.
