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

Platelets correspond to one of the most abundant components of the blood and shape the tumor microenvironment, modulate antitumor immune responses, and influence clinical outcomes in cancer patients. Recent studies have expanded our understanding of the mechanisms underlying platelet-immune interactions in cancer, including antigen presentation, immune cell activation, and immunosuppressive signaling. Consequently, platelet-based and platelet-targeted therapies have emerged as promising strategies for enhancing antitumor immunity and improving responses to immunotherapy. However, specifically targeting tumor-educated platelets while minimizing adverse effects, particularly bleeding complications, remains a major challenge. In this review, we summarize the current evidence supporting the dual role of platelets in cancer immunity and discuss how engineered platelets may be leveraged to optimize therapeutic outcomes, highlighting their potential clinical applications and the integration of platelet-targeted approaches into next-generation cancer immunotherapies.
