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

Identifying patients with stage II and III colon cancer who will benefit from 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)-based adjuvant chemotherapy is crucial for the advancement of personalized cancer therapy. We employ a semi-supervised machine learning approach to analyze a large dataset with 933 stage II and III colon cancer samples. Our analysis leverages gene regulatory networks to discover an 18-gene prognostic signature and to explore a 10-gene signature that potentially predicts chemotherapy benefits. The 10-gene signature demonstrates strong prognostic power and shows promising potential to predict chemotherapy benefits. We establish a robust clinical assay on the NanoString nCounter platform, validated in a retrospective formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) cohort, which represents an important step toward clinical application. Our study lays the groundwork for improving adjuvant chemotherapy and potentially expanding into immunotherapy decision-making in colon cancer. Future prospective studies are needed to validate and establish the clinical utility of the 10-gene signature in clinical settings.
