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

Stage IV colorectal cancer has a poor prognosis, and liver metastases are prone to recurrence, even after resection. This study aimed to identify common cancer antigens, using immunohistochemical staining, as promising targets for antigen-specific immunotherapies in colorectal cancer. We analyzed expression levels and intracellular localization of seven common cancer antigens, CLDN1, EphB4, LAT1, FOXM1, HSP105α, ROBO1, and SPARC, and human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I via immunohistochemical staining of 85 surgical specimens from primaries and liver metastases. Staining intensity and positive staining were scored to evaluate antigen expression. In 25 primaries, seven cancer antigens were expressed in 88-96% of cases, while HLA class I was expressed on the cell membrane in 80.0% of cases. In 60 liver metastases, FOXM1 and SPARC expression were approximately half that observed in the primaries. Other antigens and HLA class I were highly expressed in both. Most of the primaries and liver metastases may benefit from chimeric antigen receptor-T cell therapy targeting CLDN1, EphB4, and LAT1. Cases with high HLA class I expression may be suitable for vaccine-based and T cell receptor-T cell therapy targeting CLDN1, EphB4, LAT1, FOXM1, HSP105α, ROBO1, and SPARC for primaries and targeting antigens, excluding FOXM1 and SPARC, for liver metastases.
