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) remains a major global health burden and a leading cause of cancer-related morbidity and mortality. Current blood-based biomarkers lack sufficient sensitivity and specificity, particularly for early detection. In this context, circulating immune-cell transcriptomic profiling has emerged as a promising minimally invasive approach. This systematic review was conducted following a PROSPERO-registered protocol (CRD42024604757) and PRISMA 2020 guidelines to evaluate the diagnostic and prognostic potential of circulating monocyte-related transcriptomic profiles in CRC. Of 295 records identified, six studies met the inclusion criteria. The available evidence consistently supports the diagnostic value of circulating transcriptomic profiles in distinguishing patients with CRC from healthy individuals and in reflecting tumour-associated immune alterations. Monocyte-related signatures, including CXCR2
