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

Background: Macrophage extracellular traps (METs) and tumor-infiltrating macrophages contribute to the progression of several diseases. But the role of METs and tumor-infiltrating macrophages in colon cancer (CC) has not been illuminated. In this study, we aimed to clarify the prognostic value of METs for CC patients and to explore the interaction between CC cells and METs Methods: A training cohort consisting of 116 patients and a validation cohort of 94 patients were enrolled in this study. Immunofluorescence (IF) staining was conducted to determine METs formation in CC patients. Cox regression was used to perform prognostic analysis and screen out the best prognostic model. A nomogram was established to predict 5-year overall survival (OS). The correlation between METs with clinicopathological features and inflammatory markers was analyzed. The formation of METs Results: METs levels were higher in CC tissues and were an independent prognostic factor for CC patients. The prognostic model consisting of age, tumors local invasion, lymph node metastasis and METs were confirmed to be consistent and accurate for predicting the 5-year OS of CC patients. Besides, METs were correlated with distant metastasis and inflammation. Through Conclusions: METs were the potential biomarker of CC patient prognosis. PAD2-IN-1 inhibited the crosstalk between CC cells and METs
