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

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Although the role of tumor programmed cell death 1 ligand 1 (PD-L1) in suppressing antitumor immunity has been validated in various malignances, the impact of PD-L2 (PD-L2/PDCD1LG2) within tumors remains elusive. Here, we examined tumor PD-L2 expression by immunohistochemical analysis and assessed its association with clinicopathological characteristics and the infiltration of intratumoral T lymphocytes in colon carcinoma patients (n = 1264). We found that tumor PD-L2 status was correlated with perineural invasion (PNI) and associated with survival outcome in colon carcinoma patients. The level of tumor PD-L2 was positively associated with tumor PD-L1 expression but inversely associated with the density of CD8
