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

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has become a cornerstone of precision oncology in colorectal cancer (CRC), although its role in routine patient stratification remains incompletely defined. This retrospective single-centre study characterised the molecular landscape of clinically selected CRC patients undergoing routine NGS and explored associations between genomic alterations and clinicopathological features. 97 eligible patients who underwent targeted NGS using two validated sequencing platforms were selected. Demographic, clinicopathological, and molecular data were integrated, and associations were evaluated using descriptive statistics, exploratory association testing, principal component analysis, and multiple correspondence analysis. At least one reportable genetic alteration was identified in 91 patients (93.8%), comprising 198 alteration events across multiple cancer-related genes. The most frequently altered genes with pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants were
