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: The incidence and mortality rates of colon adenocarcinoma (COAD), which is the fourth most diagnosed cancer worldwide, are high. A subset of patients with COAD has shown promising responses to immunotherapy. However, the percentage of patients with COAD benefiting from immunotherapy is unclear. Therefore, gaining a better understanding of the immune milieu of colon cancer could aid in the development of immunotherapy and suitable combination strategies. Methods: In this study, gene expression profiles and clinical follow-up data were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases, and molecular subtypes were identified using the Results: The results showed that 424 COAD samples could be divided into three subtypes based on 1921 immune cell-related genes, with significant differences in prognosis between subtypes. Furthermore, immune-related genes could be divided into five functional modules, each with a different distribution pattern of immune subtypes. Immune subtypes and gene modules were highly reproducible across many data sets. There were significant differences in the distribution of immune checkpoints, molecular markers, and immune characteristics among immune subtypes. Four core genes, namely, Conclusion: Overall, this study provides a conceptual framework for understanding the tumor immune microenvironment of colon cancer.
