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

backgroundImmune responses have long been an area of interest in cancer research. In this study, the effects of programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) and its ligand (PD-L2) on the prognosis of colorectal cancer (CRC) were investigated.

methodsPrimary tumour specimens of stage III CRC patients operated between 2002 and 2013 were assessed for PD-1 and PD-L2 expression and various clinicopathological and prognostic factors.

resultsWe observed a significant relationship between poor prognostic factors and PD-1/PD-L2 expression. These biomarkers were also found to serve as independent risk factors for LIR and MSI. In univariate analysis, relapse-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) rates were found to be poor in PD-1 and PD-L2 positive patients. In multivariate analysis, these biomarkers were found to serve as independent poor prognostic factors for RFS and OS.

conclusionsOur data indicate that PD-1 and PD-L2 may serve as independent prognostic survival parameters for CRC patients and may be employed for the design of targeted therapies.
