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

The generation of pathologic, immature, and dysfunctional vessels by angiogenesis is a mechanism of metastasis that has been a therapeutic target for colorectal cancer (CRC). In this study, we investigated the clinical relevance of intra-tumoral microvascular endothelial (mvE) cells in CRC using the xCell algorithm on transcriptome. A total of 1244 CRC patients in discovery and validation cohorts were analyzed. We found that an abundance of mvE cells did not mirror angiogenesis but reflected mature blood vessels because it was significantly associated with a high expression of vascular stability-related genes, including sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor genes and pericytes. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition and myogenesis gene sets were enriched in mvE cell abundant CRC, while mvE cell-less CRC enriched cell proliferation, oxidative phosphorylation, and protein secretion gene sets. mvE cell abundant CRC was associated with infiltration of M2 macrophages, dendritic cells, and less gamma-delta T cells (all
