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 one of the most common and lethal malignancies worldwide, and its tumor ecosystem remains highly complex and incompletely understood. Here, we analyzed 3,264 single-cell transcriptomes from primary CRC tumors obtained from nine patients in the GSE110009 dataset. We identified 15 distinct cell clusters corresponding to seven major cell types. Trajectory inference (pseudotime analysis) was performed to characterize lineage relationships and cellular developmental trajectories. Genes associated with distinct expression programs were classified into two clusters exhibiting different tumor microenvironment (TME) characteristics. Functional enrichment analysis revealed that epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) plays a critical role in CRC tumorigenesis and metastasis. Moreover, we established a novel three-gene prognostic signature that effectively predicts clinical outcomes in CRC patients. Further analyses revealed that SERPINE1 promotes CRC cell invasion and metastasis by enhancing resistance to anoikis. Furthermore, SERPINE1 was found to enhance the malignant phenotype of metastatic colorectal cancer cells. Collectively, these findings reveal the immunosuppressive landscape of the CRC TME, provide new insights into CRC progression, and identify SERPINE1 as a potential prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target.
