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

<p>Hypoxic tumor microenvironment (TME) is a common occurrence in the development of solid tumors, which activates hypoxia‑inducible factors (HIFs) and their downstream signaling pathways in cancer cells to facilitate tumor progression and immune escape. However, among the various immune cells that constitute innate and adaptive immune systems, HIFs have a more intricate function; moreover, different isoforms of HIFs play different functions under spatial and temporal conditions. HIFs are conducive to the adaptation of various immune cells to the hypoxic TME. The stability of HIF‑α can regulate metabolism and directly regulate the expression of immune genes. Additionally, the activation of HIF signaling may also inhibit the development of immune cells in some tumor environments, affecting the antigen recognition and killing processes to assist cancer cells in immune escape. Therefore, understanding the relationship between HIF signaling and immune cells more comprehensively may yield substantial benefits for the immunotherapy of various types of cancer. The present study reviewed the role of HIFs in immunity, including their role in T cells, B cells, macrophages, neutrophils, dendritic cells and natural killer cells. It also discussed the effectiveness of HIF targeted therapy in clinical application, the challenges associated with it and the development of a precise targeting drug delivery system. The present review may help researchers comprehend the tumor immune process in a hypoxic microenvironment. It aimed to offer novel strategies for cancer immunotherapy and prolonging the overall survival of patients.</p>.
