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

Cancer immunotherapy has become a powerful clinical strategy for cancer management, while its efficacy is frequently limited by primary and acquired resistance. The tumor microenvironment (TME) plays a pivotal role in mediating such resistance through multifaceted mechanisms involving cellular, metabolic, mechanical, and microbial components. This review systematically examines how the TME contributes to immunotherapy failure. We compare resistance mechanisms common to both immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapies, two cornerstone modalities in clinical practice. Furthermore, we discuss emerging strategies designed to overcome these barriers, including immune microenvironment, stromal normalization, metabolic modulation, and microbiota engineering. By integrating recent preclinical and clinical insights, this review aims to provide a comprehensive framework for understanding and targeting microenvironmental resistance, ultimately facilitating the translation of novel combination therapies into improved patient outcomes.
