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

Background: The REGOTORI study showed that some metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients benefited from programmed death 1 (PD-1) antibody toripalimab plus anti-angiogenic tyrosine-kinase inhibitor regorafenib. However, biomarkers for this combined therapy in mCRC remain unclear. To address this gap, we performed an integrated multi-omics biomarker analysis in REGOTORI. Methods: Next-generation sequencing was performed on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue and paired plasma samples. Multiplex immunohistochemistry was performed to analyze the tumor microenvironment (TME) on FFPE samples. Variant allele frequency, somatic alterations, tumor mutational burden (TMB), circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), and TME markers were jointly assessed from both FFPE and plasma samples to explore their associations with clinical outcomes under regorafenib plus toripalimab. Results: A total of 35 patients were included. Patients with lower ctDNA maximum somatic allele frequency (maxAF), high-allele-frequency blood-based TMB (HAF-bTMB), blood-based intratumor heterogeneity (bITH), or HAF-bITH had longer survival time than their respective counterparts. Somatic alterations in Conclusion: In this combination-therapy-focused multi-omics analysis integrating tissue genomics, ctDNA features/dynamics and TME profiling, we identified ctDNA maxAF, HAF-bTMB, bITH, HAF-bITH, mutational status of
