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

Emergent scientific evidence indicates the central role of cancer-associated fibroblasts in determining whether the microenvironment of cancer works as friend or foe of the host; however, there is no unified histological evaluation framework of fibrotic stroma in colorectal cancers. Myxoid stroma and keloid-like collagen are site-specific histopathological features generated by cancer-associated fibroblasts, which appear exclusively in the tumor front during desmoplastic reaction. On the basis of these two stromal components, desmoplastic reaction is categorized into three patterns-immature, intermediate and mature-using hematoxylin and eosin staining. In January 2020, a prospective randomized clinical trial, JCOG1805, to elucidate the value of adjuvant chemotherapy in stage II colorectal cancer patients with pathological risk factors of recurrence was launched in Japan, in which intermediate/immature desmoplastic reaction is one of the four risk factors selected as inclusion criteria. This paper covers the diagnostic criteria for the desmoplastic reaction classification being used in the JCOG1805 study.
