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

backgroundThe use of neoadjuvant immunotherapy plus chemotherapy has revolutionized the management of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) patients. Nevertheless, patients who would maximally benefit from these therapies have not been identified.

methodsWe collected postoperative specimens from 103 ESCC patients, of which 66 patients comprised a retrospective cohort and 37 comprised a prospective cohort. Patient specimens were subjected to applied multi-omics analysis to uncover the mechanistic basis for patient responsiveness to cancer immunotherapy. The tumor microenvironment characteristics of these patient specimens was explored and identified by multiplex immunofluorescence and immunohistochemistry.

resultsResults demonstrated high COL19A1 expression to be a novel biomarker for successful immunotherapy (COL19A1

conclusionsThe findings of this study provide insight into the optimal design of individual treatments for ESCC patients.
