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

In contrast to the MSI-H subtype, most microsatellite-stable (MSS) colorectal cancer (CRC) patients exhibit poor prognosis and limited responsiveness to immunotherapy, highlighting the urgent need for robust biomarkers to stratify prognosis and predict immunotherapy responsiveness. Here, 68 single-cell and 3,767 bulk transcriptome samples were integrated to identify and validate MSS patients with high immune infiltration. Multidimensional, prognosis-related, and immunological features specific to MSS CRC were characterized at cellular and genetic levels. To reduce algorithm selection bias, 93 artificial intelligence algorithms were applied to construct a machine learning-derived MSS prognostic-immune signature (MLDMPIS). MLDMPIS demonstrated robust prognostic and immunotherapy response prediction performance in 1,323 MSS patients and six independent immunotherapy cohorts, outperforming clinical indicators, published prognostic signatures, and immune response models. Mechanistically, CADM1 was identified as a key molecule associated with MLDMPIS. Functional analyses revealed that CADM1 promotes tumor stemness, thereby enhancing proliferation, invasion, and metastasis in MSS CRC.
