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: Colorectal cancer (CRC) continues to exhibit a high rate of both incidence and mortality, and most patients respond limitedly to immunotherapy. Increasing evidence suggests that tumor progression is governed by complex interactions between tumor cells (TCs) and the immune microenvironment. However, the multi-layered regulatory mechanisms underlying these interactions remain poorly understood. Methods: Single-cell RNA sequencing profiles sourced from GEO were merged for subsequent integrative analysis. Leveraging Seurat, we carried out data quality filtering, dimensionality reduction, clustering, and cell annotation, while Harmony was applied to correct batch effects. Malignant cells were identified using inferCNV. Functional characteristics were analyzed using various enrichment analyses, and pseudotime analysis was conducted using CytoTRACE, Monocle, and Slingshot. Communication between cells and transcriptional regulatory circuitry were constructed using CellChat and SCENIC. The critical factor Results: The TCs were further classified into six subtypes, among which C4 Conclusion: Overall, we characterized a comprehensive cancer-immune regulatory landscape involving transcriptional programs, intercellular crosstalk, and tumor evolution dynamics. Within this context, a distinct subtype of C4
