Fibroblast growth factor receptor risk signature predicts patient prognosis and immunotherapy resistance in colorectal cancer.

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.
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: Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor (FGFR) signaling is linked with tumor progression and tumor immunoevasion, yet the potential effect of FGFR signature on the prognosis of patient with colorectal cancer (CRC) and response to immune therapy remains elusive. Methods: The fibroblast growth factor receptor risk signature (FRS) was identified through single-cell RNA sequencing, bulk RNA sequencing, and machine learning techniques. Signaling enrichment analyses were conducted using Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG). Drugs targeting the FRS were predicted using the Cancer Therapeutics Response Portal (CTRP) and PRISM databases. The analysis of T cell function and the tumor microenvironment (TME) was performed using flow cytometry. Results: In this study, we characterized the FRS in cancer patients with CRC. By integrating advanced techniques, we identified the FRS and revealed the intricate molecular landscape and diversity of the FRS within the TME. Notably, the FRS effectively predicted unfavorable prognosis and resistance to immunotherapy in CRC patients. Furthermore, PHA-793887, identified as a potential FRS inhibitor by the CTRP and PRISM databases, significantly restructured the immunosuppressive TME and enhanced the antitumor immune response, resulting in a reduced tumor burden in the MC38 murine tumor model. Conclusion: Together, these data support FRS positively correlates with poor prognosis and therapy resistance. The PHA-793887 could be a potential FRS inhibitor to improving the effectiveness of CRC management via bolstering antitumor immunity.
