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

Colorectal liver metastases are detected in 15-20% of patients at the time of diagnosis of the primary tumor, they develop in an additional 20-30% of patients during further course of the disease. Radical resection enables 5-year survival rates of 30-50%. Resectability may be increased by surgical techniques including two-stage hepatectomy and portal vein embolization. Furthermore, modern chemotherapy including various combinations of oxaliplatin, irinotecan, bevacizumab, and cetuximab has led to secondary resectability correlating to response rates which may be up to 80%. Changes of hepatic histology such as sinusoidal obstruction (e.g. following oxaliplatin) or steatohepatitis (e.g. following irinotecan) have been described. Individually, this may increase the risk of subsequent liver resection. As of today the role of neoadjuvant chemotherapy for resectable lesions has not been definitively confirmed.
