Angiography for diagnosis and treatment of colorectal cancer.
Article in World journal of gastroenterology, 2003. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
aimTo evaluate the role of preoperative angiography in the diagnosis and treatment of colorectal cancer.
methodsThe authors performed selective arterial cannulation by Seldinger's method in 47 patients to locate the primary cancer and to diagnose metastasis to the liver. Each patient was then given intra-arterial regional chemotherapy, and received 5-fluorouracil (5-Fu, 1 000 mg), mitomycin C (MMC, 20 mg), and cisplatinum (CDDP, 80 mg).
resultsThe location and shape of each tumor were observed, including metastatic tumors in the liver, in 42 of the 47 (89.4 %) patients. The site of the primary tumor was difficult to identify in 5 cases because the patients had a recurrence of cancer. Arterial chemotherapy was performed successfully in all patients. The authors recorded no partial or significant morbidity resulted from angiography. The only incident was bleeding from the artery puncture site in one patient, which was successfully stopped by general medication.
conclusionPreoperative selective arterial angiography can help the diagnosis and locate primary tumors and to detect liver metastasis. At the same time, regional arterial chemotherapy can be an important form of preoperative therapy.
