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

Crohn's-like lymphoid reaction (CLR) and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) are crucial for the host antitumor immune response. We proposed an artificial intelligence (AI)-based model to quantify the density of TILs and CLR in immunohistochemical (IHC)-stained whole-slide images (WSIs) and further constructed the CLR-I (immune) score, a tissue level- and cell level-based immune factor, to predict the overall survival (OS) of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). The TILs score and CLR score were obtained according to the related density. And the CLR-I score was calculated by summing two scores. The development (Hospital 1, N = 370) and validation (Hospital 2 & 3, N = 144) cohorts were used to evaluate the prognostic value of the CLR-I score. The C-index and integrated area under the curve were used to assess the discrimination ability. A higher CLR-I score was associated with a better prognosis, which was identified by multivariable analysis in the development (hazard ratio for score 3 vs score 0 = 0.22, 95% confidence interval 0.12-0.40, P < 0.001) and validation cohort (0.21, 0.05-0.78, P = 0.020). The AI-based CLR-I score outperforms the single predictor in predicting OS which is objective and more prone to be deployed in clinical practice.
