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-draining lymph nodes are central to anti-tumor immunity and influence the response to immunotherapy. Colorectal cancers with microsatellite instability and microsatellite stability differ substantially in tumor biology, prognosis and sensitivity to immune checkpoint blockade. However, the differences in tumor-draining lymph nodes between these two subtypes and their contribution to distinct anti-tumor immune responses remain poorly understood. Here, we performed an integrative multi-omics analysis to systematically compare tumor-draining lymph nodes and tumor microenvironments in these two colorectal cancer subtypes. We identified a distinct population of CD8
