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

Few predictive biomarkers exist for identifying patients who may benefit from neoadjuvant therapy (NAT). The intratumoral microbial composition is comprehensively profiled to predict the efficacy and prognosis of patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) who underwent NAT and curative esophagectomy. Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) regression analysis is conducted to screen for the most closely related microbiota and develop a microbiota-based risk prediction (MRP) model on the genera of TM7x, Sphingobacterium, and Prevotella. The predictive accuracy and prognostic value of the MRP model across multiple centers are validated. The MRP model demonstrates good predictive accuracy for therapeutic responses in the training, validation, and independent validation sets. The MRP model also predicts disease-free survival (p = 0.00074 in the internal validation set and p = 0.0017 in the independent validation set) and overall survival (p = 0.00023 in the internal validation set and p = 0.11 in the independent validation set) of patients. The MRP-plus model basing on MRP, tumor stage, and tumor size can also predict the patients who can benefit from NAT. In conclusion, the developed MRP and MRP-plus models may function as promising biomarkers and prognostic indicators accessible at the time of diagnosis.
