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

Tumor budding (TB), defined as isolated single cells or small clusters of up to four tumor cells at the invasive front of colorectal carcinoma (CRC), is recognized as an important histopathologic marker associated with adverse tumor behavior. This review summarizes current knowledge on the morphologic assessment, biological significance, and clinical relevance of TB, emphasizing emerging artificial intelligence (AI) methods that aim to automate and standardize its quantification. Standardized reporting by the International Tumor Budding Consensus Conference (ITBCC) has improved reproducibility, while novel deep-learning algorithms demonstrate potential for objective and prognostically relevant TB assessment. Integration of AI-based TB evaluation with molecular and stromal biomarkers may refine patient stratification and facilitate personalized treatment strategies.
