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

Lynch syndrome (LS) is characterized by germline mutations in the DNA mismatch repair (MMR) genes. In colorectal cancer (CRC), germline mutations of DNA MMR genes commonly lead to microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) subtype formation. Recent studies have demonstrated that CRC patients with MSI-H or mismatch repair-deficient (dMMR) status can benefit from anti-PD1 immunotherapy. However, almost 50% of CRC patients with MSI-H status do not respond to it. It is reported that heterogeneity of tumor and abnormal activation of cancer-related signaling pathways contribute to resistance to anti-PD1 therapy. To improve the clinical efficacy of such patients, the underlying mechanisms of resistance to anti-PD1 treatment must be explored. In this case, we describe an LS-associated CRC patient with MSI-H who suffered resistance to anti-PD1 therapy. Here, we attempted to elucidate the potential reasons, and thus appropriate strategies may be derived to overcome this clinical problem.
