Tumor-associated macrophages remodeling EMT and predicting survival in colorectal carcinoma.
Article in Oncoimmunology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 60 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 immune contexture, a composition of the tumor microenvironment, plays multiple important roles in cancer stem cell (CSC) and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), and hence critically influences tumor initiation, progression and patient outcome. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are abundant in immune contexture, however their roles in CSC, EMT and prognosis of colorectal cancer (CRC) have not been elucidated. In 419 colorectal carcinomas, immune cell types (CD68
