Copy number alteration fingerprint predicts the clinical response of oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy in metastatic colorectal cancer.
Article in NPJ precision oncology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy is a standard treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), yet accurate biomarkers to identify responders remain lacking. In this study, we developed and validated a genomic copy number alteration (CNA)-based biomarker to predict clinical response to oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy. A total of 297 samples were collected, and shallow sequencing was employed to extract CNA features. The resulting model named "CNA fingerprint" is an XGBoost model trained using 7 CNA features. The model was validated across three independent test cohorts from two centers, achieving area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.87, 0.87, and 0.85, respectively. The primary predictor was the number of DNA segments with high absolute copy numbers. Our findings suggest that the CNA fingerprint could be used as biomarker for oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy response prediction in mCRC. Further prospective clinical trials are warranted to evaluate CNA fingerprint's performance in clinical applications.
