Role of metabolic reprogramming of cancer‑associated fibroblasts in tumor development and progression (Review).
Review in International journal of oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
The occurrence and development of tumors is affected by tumor cells themselves and various components of the tumor microenvironment (TME). Among these, cancer‑associated fibroblasts (CAFs), the main stromal component, can differentiate from different cell types and play an important role in the TME. The present review summarized the role of the metabolic reprogramming of CAFs in tumor development and progression. As the rapid growth of tumors is a process inseparable from energy supply and the TME is characterized by hypoxia and nutrient deficiencies, metabolic reprogramming can reverse the effects of a lack of energy supply in the TME. Studies have found that CAFs can affect tumor proliferation, migration, invasion, metastasis and drug resistance by changing metabolic patterns. The present review promoted research on the metabolic reprogramming of CAFs and emphasized the importance of considering the heterogeneity and plasticity of CAFs in the TME, which will lead to the development of more effective therapeutic strategies that target specific metabolic pathways in CAFs, potentially improving the efficacy of cancer treatments and overcoming drug resistance.
