Prognostic Implications of Intratumoral Budding in Colorectal Cancer: Detailed Analysis Based on Tumor-Infiltrating Lymphocytes.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
backgroundThis study aims to understand the clinical and pathological importance of intratumoral budding (ITB) in colorectal cancer (CRC) and its relationship with tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs). CRCs can be classified into hot (high immunoscore (IS)) and cold (low IS) tumors.
methodsWe investigated the number of ITBs in a hotspot area and categorized them into high-ITB (≥5) and low-ITB (<5) groups. The clinicopathological significance of ITB in human CRCs was evaluated, and a detailed analysis based on tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) was also performed.
resultsHigh ITB was identified in 59 of 266 CRC cases (22.2%). High ITB significantly correlated with a poorly differentiated tumor, lympho-vascular invasion, perineural invasion, higher pT stage, lymph node metastasis, and higher metastatic lymph node ratio. High ITB was also significantly correlated with a low IS and low CD8-positive lymphocytic infiltrate. The number of ITBs was substantially higher in the low-IS group than in the high-IS group (3.28 ± 3.31 vs. 2.19 ± 2.59;
conclusionsTaken together, high ITB was significantly correlated with aggressive tumor behaviors and worse survival in patients with CRCs. In addition, ITB can be useful for the prognostic stratification of CRCs with low IS.
