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

Objective: The purpose of this study is to identify and analyze the factors associated with achieving pathological complete response (pCR) in patients with locally advanced microsatellite stable (MSS) or proficient mismatch repair (pMMR) colorectal cancer who underwent neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 116 such patients at the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University from January 2023 to July 2024. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to find factors associated with pCR. Perform Cohen's Kappa coefficient analysis to assess the agreement between clinical staging and pathological staging following neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy. Results: Among 116 patients who received neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy followed by radical curative surgery, 32.8% (38/116) achieved a pCR. Univariate analysis showed that pCR was not associated with sex, tumor location, etc., ( Conclusion: Younger male patients demonstrated a significantly higher likelihood of achieving pCR following neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy. This study emphasizes the need to enhance the accuracy of clinical restaging after neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy.
