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

We have previous found a positive correlation between post-therapy TCR repertoire normalization and remission of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients following fluorouracil, leucovorin, and irinotecan (FOLFIRI) plus bevacizumab or Rh-endostatin therapy. To further define the TCR repertoire diversity changes following treatment in CRC patients, and confirm its potential prognostic value, the present study extended the sample size of follow-up and used an alternative therapy regime to investigate changes of TCR repertoires following Erbitux plus FOLFIRI therapy. Inclusion and exclusion criteria have been established to screen out 26 patients to receive Erbitux plus FOLFIRI therapy. Efficacy and toxicity assessment have been made for them after 3 months' treatment as well as the TCR repertoire diversity has been determined. A CDR3 complex scoring system was used to quantify the diversity of TCR repertoire. The results showing that the diversity of CD4(+) T cells in PR group was significantly higher than that of SD and PD groups, and the difference was enlargement after treatment. The diversity of CD8(+) T cells in PR group has no difference before and after treatment, but significant decrease in SD and PD group after treatment. In conclusion, analysis the diversity of T cell repertoire has an important prognosis value for CRC patients.
