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

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer-related morbidity and mortality worldwide. Conventional therapeutic modalities-such as surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy-yield suboptimal outcomes in advanced or recurrent disease, while immune checkpoint inhibitors demonstrate durable clinical benefit almost exclusively in the microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) subset, which constitutes only ~ 15% of CRC cases. This stark therapeutic gap underscores an unmet medical need for novel, mechanism-driven immunotherapies. Tumor neoantigens-immunogenic peptides arising from somatic mutations and exclusively presented on malignant cells-represent highly promising targets for precision immunotherapy owing to their strict tumor-restricted expression and negligible risk of on-target, off-tumor toxicity. This review outlines the molecular mechanisms driving neoantigen generation in CRC, including frameshift mutations, single-nucleotide variants, alternative RNA splicing, and circular RNA-derived epitopes. We further delineate the immunological cascade by which these neoantigens are processed, presented via MHC molecules, and recognized by antigen-specific CD8
