Spontaneous regression of colorectal cancer: a review of cases from 1900 to 2005.
Review in International journal of colorectal disease, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 32 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
introductionSpontaneous regression of cancer is an exceptional but well-documented biological event. Further understanding of this phenomenon and harnessing of the mechanisms involved will have significant preventative and therapeutic implications. DISCUSSION: In this review, the literature of spontaneous regression of colon or rectal cancer is reviewed from 1965 to 2005 to update reviews by Everson et al., Boyd and Challis et al. By adding to these, the author reports the entire series of colorectal cancer, which underwent documented spontaneous regression from 1900 to 2005. The demographic and pathologic characteristics, the details of regression and the outcome of reported cases are presented and discussed. Special emphasis is placed on identifying possible causes hypothesized by authors for occurrence of regression. Possible mechanisms operating to affect these regressions are also discussed.
