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

The emergence of immunotherapy has heralded a new era in cancer treatment, with countless patients reaping the benefits of this innovative approach. While the majority of immunotherapy research has concentrated on T cells, there is a growing body of evidence highlighting the significant role of tumor-infiltrating B cells(TIL-Bs) in tumor immunity. This review synthesizes the potential mechanisms by which B cells contribute to tumor proliferation, metastasis, drug resistance, and angiogenesis. We provide a comprehensive analysis of the role of TIL-Bs within the tumor microenvironment(TME) and their impact on the cancer immune response, emphasizing their dual role as both allies and adversaries in the fight against cancer. To explain this phenomenon, we propose a dynamic regulatory framework of the TME targeting B cells, which indicates that the functions of B cells adjust in response to the dynamic changes of the tumor microenvironment. Understanding the mechanisms of B cell action within the TME is crucial for the development of targeted immunotherapies that leverage TIL-Bs. Finally, this article summarizes the latest advances in TIL-Bs in cancer immunotherapy and provides a historical overview of the evolution of immunotherapeutic strategies.
