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

Colon adenocarcinoma (COAD) is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, with immune escape being a significant factor in the failure of immunotherapy. This study investigates the correlation between Immunosurveillance-related genes and the prognosis of COAD patients, utilizing data from 1140 patients across four public databases: The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC), Array-express, and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). Employing Cox regression analysis, we identified 182 immune genes significantly linked to overall survival (OS) and established an Immunosurveillance score (ISs) based on 16 of these genes. The ISs score was validated using independent datasets, revealing that patients in the high-ISs group exhibited significantly poorer OS compared to those in the low-ISs group, as demonstrated by Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox regression analyses. Moreover, the ISs score showed a negative correlation with immune scores across multiple datasets. Notably, a higher ISs score was associated with improved recurrence-free survival (RFS) and OS in patients treated with PD-1 and CTLA4 inhibitors. Our findings suggest that the ISs score, derived from Immunosurveillance-related genes, has the potential to serve as a valuable prognostic marker and a tool for identifying COAD patients who may benefit from immunotherapy in clinical settings.
