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

This study investigates key microscopic regions involved in colorectal cancer liver metastasis (CRLM), focusing on the crucial role of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) in promoting tumor progression and providing molecular- and metabolism-level insights for its diagnosis and treatment using multi-omics. We followed 12 fresh surgical samples from 2 untreated CRLM patients. Among these, 4 samples were used for spatial transcriptomics (ST), 4 for spatial metabolomics, and 4 for single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq). Additionally, 92 frozen tissue samples from 40 patients were collected. Seven patients were used for immunofluorescence and RT-qPCR, while 33 patients were used for untargeted metabolomics. ST revealed that the spatial regions of CRLM consists of 7 major components, with fibroblast-dominated regions being the most prominent. These regions are characterized by diverse cell-cell interactions, and immunosuppressive and tumor growth-promoting environments. scRNA-seq identified that SPP1
