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

Although immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy is currently the standard of care in microsatellite-unstable (MSI) metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC), ICI therapy, alone or in combination with other therapies, is not a treatment approach in microsatellite-stable (MSS) CRC, which is present in 95% of patients. In this review, we focus on metabolic singularities-at the transcriptomic (either bulk or single cell), proteomic, and post-translational modification levels-that induce immunosuppression in cancer and specifically in MSS CRC. First, we evaluate the current efficacy of ICIs in limited and metastatic disease in MSS CRC. Second, we discuss the latest findings on the potential biomarkers for evaluating ICI efficacy in MSS CRC using strict REMARK criteria. Third, we review the current evidence on metabolic patterns in CRC tumors and immune cell metabolism to advance our understanding of metabolic crosstalk and to pave the way for the development of combination strategies to enhance ICI efficacy.
