Information about immune cell proportions and tumor stage improves the prediction of recurrence in patients with colorectal cancer.

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
Predicting cancer recurrence is essential to improving the clinical outcomes of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). Although tumor stage information has been used as a guideline to predict CRC recurrence, patients with the same stage show different clinical outcomes. Therefore, there is a need to develop a method to identify additional features for CRC recurrence prediction. Here, we developed a network-integrated multiomics (NIMO) approach to select appropriate transcriptome signatures for better CRC recurrence prediction by comparing the methylation signatures of immune cells. We validated the performance of the CRC recurrence prediction based on two independent retrospective cohorts of 114 and 110 patients. Moreover, to confirm that the prediction was improved, we used both NIMO-based immune cell proportions and TNM (tumor, node, metastasis) stage data. This work demonstrates the importance of (1) using both immune cell composition and TNM stage data and (2) identifying robust immune cell marker genes to improve CRC recurrence prediction.
