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

Fucosylation, the enzymatic addition of fucose residues to glycans, modulates receptor signalling and cellular identity in the intestinal epithelium. Its role as an integrative determinant of cancer cell fate in colorectal cancer (CRC) remains undefined. Transcriptomic and clinicopathological data from 976 CRC patients across three independent cohorts (TCGA-CRC, CPTAC2-CRC, Sidra-LUMC) were analysed. A curated fucosylation gene set was used to calculate tumour fucosylation scores. Associations with histogenetic status, genomic features, microenvironmental phenotypes, drug resistance programmes, and survival were evaluated using gene set enrichment analysis, multivariable Cox regression, and integrated molecular subtyping. High-fucosylation tumours exhibited elevated epithelial differentiation, MSI-H/
