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

Rectal adenocarcinoma with diffuse oncocytic features is a very rare lesion, having been reported only once in the English literature. We describe a case of oncocytic adenocarcinoma of the rectum, associated with a villous adenoma, arising on a 66-year-old man. On histological examination, the adenocarcinoma was composed of neoplastic glands lined by a strongly eosinophilic, granular epithelium that deeply infiltrated the rectal wall. Some basophilic calcifications were present in the gland lumina. Superficially, a villous adenoma with high-grade dysplasia was evident; adenomatous cells showed focal eosinophilic changes, consisting of a large granular cytoplasm, an oval atypical nucleus, and a prominent nucleolus. Immunohistochemically, neoplastic glands reacted strongly with antimitochondria antibody, carcinoembryonic antigen, cytokeratin 20, p53, and CDX2. Molecular alterations observed in oncocytic changes and their significance with regards to neoplastic transformation are briefly discussed.
