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: We sought to characterize the genomic and immune landscape of signet ring cell carcinoma (SRCC), a rare and aggressive subtype of colorectal cancer (CRC). Methods: Tissue samples and clinicopathological data were retrospectively analyzed from 37 SRCC and 172 conventional adenocarcinomas (AC) of rectum and sigmoid colon. The genetic and immune profiles were assessed using DNA next-generation sequencing (NGS) and multiplex immunohistochemistry. Results: Compared to AC, SRCC patients were younger, had higher tumor, node, metastasis (TNM) stages and tumor grades (all Conclusions: Colorectal SRCC is a clinically and molecularly distinct and highly malignant subtype compared to AC. It exhibits a "pseudo-T cell-inflamed" tumor microenvironment with increased total CD8
