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

Breast cancer (BC) development is significantly affected by the tumor microenvironment (TME), in which macrophage polarization plays a central role. Macrophages can assume pro-inflammatory M1 or anti-inflammatory M2 phenotypes, with M1 macrophages suppressing and M2 macrophages facilitating tumor growth. Accumulating evidence indicates long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) as significant regulators of macrophage polarization in BC. LncRNAs can promote either M1 or M2 phenotypes, hence modulating tumor growth and metastasis. Accordingly, this review aims to shed light on the mechanisms by which lncRNAs regulate macrophage polarization and to explore their impact on BC development, offering insights into potential therapeutic strategies targeting the tumor immune microenvironment.
