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

Immunometabolism, encompassing metabolic processes within the immune system, plays a pivotal role in modulating the development, activity, and function of immune cells. Oxidative stress, resulting from an imbalance between pro-oxidants and antioxidants, is a critical factor in the pathogenesis of various diseases, including cancer and aging. This review synthesizes current knowledge on the interplay between immunometabolism and oxidative stress, highlighting their mechanisms in cancer progression and the aging process. We discuss how metabolic reprogramming in our body can influence immune cell function and promoting ageing and cancer development. Additionally, we examine the impact of aging on immune metabolism, leading to a decline in immune function and a predisposition to chronic diseases. The review also explores the potential of traditional Chinese medicine in targeting oxidative stress to delay aging and combat cancer, underscoring the need for further research to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying these effects. Our findings suggest that interventions targeting immunometabolism and oxidative stress could offer novel therapeutic avenues for cancer and aging-related diseases.
