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

Colorectal cancer (CRC) continues to rise in global incidence and remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality. Immunogenic cell death (ICD) has emerged as a critical modulator of tumor microenvironment (TME) dynamics; however, its prognostic implications and therapeutic potential in CRC require systematic characterization. Through the integrative analysis of single-cell RNA sequencing and bulk transcriptomic data, 11 ICD-related genes with prognostic significance were identified in CRC. A comprehensive computational framework was then employed to evaluate 101 machine learning combinations, ultimately constructing an optimized 11-gene ICD-related signature (ICDRS) by integrating StepCox [forward] and RSF. The ICDRS exhibited strong predictive performance for overall survival in CRC patients across the training and validation datasets. Notably, the ICDRS-based nomogram achieved outstanding time-dependent AUCs (>0.90) for 1- to 3-year survival prediction. Multidimensional analysis revealed significant associations between ICDRS-derived risk score and distinct immune infiltration patterns, immunotherapy response and TME characteristics. Furthermore, a novel macrophage subtype, SPP1
