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
Background: Microsatellite stability (MSS) colorectal cancer (CRC) has poor sensitivity to immunotherapy and its underlying mechanisms are still unclear. Guanylate binding proteins (GBPs) are a family of GTPase involving innate immune responses by providing defense against invading microbes and pathogens. However, the immunological significances of GBPs in MSS CRC remain unknown. Methods: We utilized bioinformatic tools to comprehensively analysis the expression pattern, clinical relevance, prognostic value, biological function, and immunoregulation effect of distinct GBP members in MSS CRC. Results: The expression of all seven GBPs in MSS samples are remarkably decreased compared to microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) samples. Among them, GBP1/2/4/5 are obviously correlated with distant metastasis status. High expression of GBP1/4/5/6 was remarkably related to favorable overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) in CRC patients with MSS tumor. Subsequent enrichment analysis revealed that Interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) and NOD-like receptor signaling are the most relevant functions. Besides, the expression patterns of GBPs are remarkably associated with several tumor infiltrated immune cells (e.g. regulatory T cells, CD4 Conclusion: These findings might provide novel insights for the identification of therapeutic targets and potential prognostic biomarkers of GBP family in CRC with MSS samples.
