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

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have become a promising area of research for cancer treatment. In addition to the well-known ICIs targeting PD-1/PD-L1, HLA-G/ILT-2/-4 is relatively new immune checkpoint that has been evaluated in early clinical trials in patients with advanced solid tumors. In this study, the expression of HLA-G (n=157), ILT-2/4 (n=82), and PD-L1 (n=70) in epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM)-positive colorectal cancer (CRC) cells was analyzed by multicolor flow cytometry, and the prognostic significance of these molecules was evaluated. In EpCAM
