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

The interplay between TP53 alterations and Wnt/β-catenin signaling in colorectal cancer (CRC) remains unclear regarding mismatch repair (MMR) status, tumor budding (TB), poorly differentiated cluster (PDC), and prognosis. We analyzed 146 resected CRC cases, quantifying p53, Wnt3, and β-CTN indices and assessing MMR by PMS2 and MSH6 immunohistochemistry. p53 overexpression was associated with younger patients, left-sided tumors, nodal metastasis, and advanced stage, whereas wild-type tumors showed more mucinous differentiation. Deficient MMR was enriched among wild-type p53 cases. Principal component analysis identified distinct axes defined by p53, Wnt3, and β-CTN. Despite comparable Wnt3 levels, nuclear β-CTN accumulation was enhanced in tumors with aberrant (overexpression or null) p53 tumors, with increased TB and PDC indices. Low nuclear β-CTN independently predicted recurrence in stage I-III disease and worse overall survival in proficient MMR tumors (HR 3.07 and 2.52;
