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

backgroundOwing to the special features of biologics, deficient mismatch repair (dMMR) in patients with colon cancer has achieved little treatment efficacy from chemoradiotherapy. Immunotherapy has shown promising results for the treatment of colon cancer. The high response rate observed suggests a great option for patients presenting with unresectable tumors, as it allows for better oncological resection. Here, we aimed to highlight the significant effects of immunotherapy on dMMR in colon cancer. CASE SUMMARY: A 54-year-old man diagnosed with locally unresectable dMMR colon cancer received preoperative immunotherapy (three cycles of pembrolizumab) and achieved a pathological complete response after surgery.

conclusionImmunotherapy can be used as a conversion treatment for locally unresectable colon cancer with dMMR.
