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.
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
Pyroptosis is a recently-identified pathway of host cell death that is stimulated by a range of microbial infections. Emerging evidence indicates pyroptosis plays crucial roles in tumor growth, disease progression, and migration of different cancer cells. However, the clinical significance of pyroptosis in tumor behavior prognosis, as well as the underlying mechanism in different cancers remains elusive. Here, by evaluating the expression level of pyroptosis genes in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients from the TCGA cohort and GEO cohort (GSE39582), we identified pyroptosis-related DEGs and then built a 13-gene risk model by applying the LASSO Cox regression algorithm. Furthermore, functional analysis using GSEA and GSEV revealed that our prognostic model may function through regulating immune responses and tumor biogenesis pathways. Significant infiltration of activated immune cells (e.g. cytotoxic T cells) was observed in the low risk score group. The selected gene set was further validated in the GEO cohort. Time-dependent ROC curves confirmed that our risk score model is robust in predicting 1, 3 and 5-year overall survival in CRC patients. Overall, we have identified a pyroptosis-related gene signature that consists of 13 genes, which serves as a potent indicator of CRC prognosis. Thus, our model provides insights in how to make better clinical decision in the future.
