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

Immune checkpoint blockade therapy has revolutionized the treatment of metastatic and solid tumours, achieving durable responses in a subset of patients. However, most patients do not respond to immune checkpoint blockade, underscoring the critical need to better understand the determinants of therapeutic efficacy. A key obstacle to effective antitumour immune responses is the abnormal structure and function of tumour-associated blood vessels, which impede immune cell infiltration and contribute to the development of an immunosuppressive tumour microenvironment. Current research highlights the inverse correlation between angiogenesis and immune activity within the tumour microenvironment. In this Review, we discuss tumour angiogenesis in the context of tumour immunity, examining how this affects tumour progression and immunotherapy outcomes. We examine the molecular mechanisms underlying the crosstalk between angiogenesis and tumour immunity and discuss emerging anti-angiogenic regulators that hold potential for combination therapies. By integrating insights from preclinical and clinical studies, we outline future research directions to address current challenges and optimize cancer treatment strategies through combined anti-angiogenic and immunotherapeutic approaches.
