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

This review delves into the characteristics of lipid metabolism reprogramming in cancer cells and immune cells within the tumor microenvironment (TME), discussing its role in tumorigenesis and development and analyzing the value of lipid metabolism-related molecules in tumor diagnosis and prognosis. Cancer cells support their rapid growth through aerobic glycolysis and lipid metabolism reprogramming. Lipid metabolism plays distinct roles in cancer and immune cells, including energy supply, cell proliferation, angiogenesis, immune suppression, and tumor metastasis. This review focused on shared lipid metabolic enzymes and transporters, lipid metabolism-related oncogenes and non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) involved in cancer cells, and the influence of lipid metabolism on T cells, dendritic cells (DCs), B cells, tumor associated macrophages (TAMs), tumor associated neutrophils (TANs), and natural killer cells (NKs) within TME. Additionally, the role of lipid metabolism in tumor diagnosis and prognosis was explored, and lipid metabolism-based anti-tumor treatment strategies were summarized, aiming to provide new perspectives for achieving precision medicine.
