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

backgroundMicrosatellite-stable (MSS) colon adenocarcinoma (COAD) patients are not sensitive to immune checkpoint inhibitors. Here, we focused on analyzing the relationship between homologous recombination repair (HRR)-related gene mutations and clinical immunotherapy responses in MSS COAD.

methodsThe mutational landscape was profiled in a cohort of 406 Chinese COAD patients via next-generation sequencing (NGS). Correlations between HRR gene mutations and tumor immunity or clinical outcomes in two COAD genomic datasets were analyzed via bioinformatics.

resultsIn the Chinese cohort, seventy (17%) patients exhibited genomic alterations in HRR genes;

conclusionHRR gene mutations significantly increased immune activities in MSS COAD patients, implying the feasibility of the HRR-mut status as an immunotherapy response predictor in MSS COAD.
