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
Poor infiltration of T lymphocytes has been regarded as a crucial mechanism of tumor immune escape. Here, we demonstrate a protective role of KRT17 in colorectal cancer, where KRT17 reversed the tumor immunosuppressive microenvironment by increasing T-lymphocyte infiltration. High-throughput RNA sequencing suggested that KRT17 was significantly upregulated in deficient mismatch repair (dMMR) tumors compared with proficient mismatch repair (pMMR) tumors. In a colorectal cancer cohort of 446 cases, KRT17 expression positively correlated with better clinical outcomes. Krt17 overexpression decreased xenograft tumor growth in immune-competent mice. T-cell depletion in a murine model showed that the presence of T lymphocytes was necessary for Krt17-mediated disruption of tumorigenesis. Mass spectrometry and coimmunoprecipitation assays suggested KRT17 caused YTHDF2 degradation through the ubiquitin-proteasome system. Through high-throughput RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing, we found that CXCL10 was the target gene of the N6-methyladenosine (m6A) "reader" YTHDF2. KRT17 synergized with anti-PD-1 for better tumor control in an immunotherapy-resistant murine model. In a cohort of patients with colorectal cancer receiving pembrolizumab, high KRT17 expression was found within the tumors of responders. Collectively, we elucidated a critical role of KRT17 in colorectal cancer to prevent immune escape. These findings present new insights into potential therapeutic strategies and effective markers of immunotherapy reactivity against pMMR tumors.
