Research on tissue-resident macrophages in the field of cancer research: a bibliometric analysis from 2004 to 2025.
Review in Cell adhesion & migration, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
In the tumor microenvironment, tissue-resident macrophages (TRMs) promote malignant tumor progression, yet their tissue-specific heterogeneity and complex functions bring research challenges. This study analyzes the research status and trends of TRMs in oncology. Via VOSviewer, CiteSpace, R software and WoSCC, a visual bibliometric network was built for quantitative analysis, with future research directions explored in depth. The US leads in publications and academic influence, and the University of Washington tops in paper output. Research focuses on TRMs' origin, classification and tumor microenvironment functions; microglia and Kupffer cells are the most studied subsets. Current research centers on pathway exploration, immunotherapy and single-cell sequencing. This study summarizes TRMs' research status, hotspots and trends in oncology, providing valuable insights for relevant collaborators and institutions.
