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

The phase III ATOMIC trial recently showed that adding atezolizumab to standard adjuvant chemotherapy improved disease-free survival (DFS) in patients with mismatch-repair-deficient (dMMR) stage III colon cancer; however, its efficacy in mismatch-repair-proficient (pMMR) disease remains unknown. To address this issue, we reconstructed individual patient-level survival data (IPD) for the centrally confirmed dMMR subgroup, as well as those without centrally confirmed dMMR status (an approximation of the pMMR subgroup) in ATOMIC. The analysis of reconstructed IPD faithfully reproduced the trial's reported DFS gain by adding atezolizumab to adjuvant chemotherapy in the dMMR subgroup (3-year DFS, 86.2% vs 77.0%; HR, 0.52 (95% CI 0.36 to 0.77)). Intriguingly, DFS was also in favor of the chemo-immunotherapy arm in the approximated pMMR subgroup (3-year DFS, 87.1% vs 77.4%; HR, 0.45 (95% CI 0.16 to 1.27)). The interaction test further demonstrated that treatment effect did not differ by MMR status (P
