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

Introduction: T-cell exhaustion is a major mechanism of immune evasion. Recently, the therapeutic and prognostic implications of progenitor exhausted T cells (Tpex) and terminally exhausted T cells (Ttex) have been explored in various cancer types. This study explored the immunogenomic characteristics and prognostic implications of Tpex and Ttex in colorectal cancers (CRCs). Methods: We performed multiplex immunofluorescence (mIF) using antibodies against CK, CD3, CD8, TCF1, and FOXP3 to assess diverse subsets of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in 517 patients with stage III or high-risk stage II CRCs. We compared the infiltration level of these TIL subsets with the genetic profiles of CRCs, including microsatellite instability (MSI), tumor mutational burden (TMB), and mutations in 40 tumor-associated genes across five biological pathways. Results: CD8 Discussion: Ttex infiltration is associated with MSI and TMB status and may serve as a prognostic marker of CRCs.
