Article in Der Chirurg; Zeitschrift fur alle Gebiete der operativen Medizen, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
In the last ten years, considerable progress has been achieved in the treatment of rectal cancer. According to improved interdisciplinary staging, rectal carcinomas can be treated based on a stage-dependent concept: "low-risk" pT1 (G1/G2) carcinomas can be cured by local full wall excision, while "high-risk" pT1 (G3/G4) and pT2 carcinomas require transabdominal resection. In contrast, locally advanced rectal cancers in cUICC-II/-III stages (T3/T4 or N(+)) should receive long-term, 5-FU-based, neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy according to the excellent results of the CAO/AIO/ARO-94 trial of the German Rectal Cancer Study Group. High-quality resection must be based on radical oncologic principles such as "no-touch" technique, radicular dissection of vessels, and total mesorectal excision. Multimodal treatment is completed with adjuvant 5-FU-based chemotherapy. This therapeutic approach led to a reduction in the 5-year local recurrence rate to 6% and disease-free survival of approximately 68% in advanced rectal cancer (overall survival: 76%).
