Review in Der Chirurg; Zeitschrift fur alle Gebiete der operativen Medizen, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03034473 (Translational Validation Study to Examine KFO179-1 Biomarker Scores for the Prediction and Prognosis of Advanced Primary Resectable Rectal Cancer Stages UICC II-IV, With a 5-FU-based Standard Radiochemotherapy Followed by Total Mesorectal Excision.), which is not on this map.

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.

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.

Abstract

Based on results of the German Rectal Cancer Study Group CAO/ARO/AIO-94 trial, long-term chemoradiotherapy (RT/CTx) is recommended as standard treatment for locally advanced rectal cancer (UICC stages II/III) in the lower two thirds of the rectum (0-12 cm from the anocutaneous verge). Tumor response to neoadjuvant therapy is very heterogeneous, ranging from complete remission to total resistance to RT/CTx. To fulfill the clinical requirement of individual and risk-adapted multimodal treatment, distinct progress in translational research has been achieved (e.g. gene profiling). However, in clinical reality "individualization" of the therapy of rectal cancer patients has not actually been realized. This can be achieved only on the basis of successful randomized clinical trials (e.g. the CAO/ARO/AIO-04 and GAST-05 trials) translationally combined with basic scientific approaches. One simple first step toward individualizing rectal cancer therapy is being made with the ongoing GAST-05 trial. This investigator initiated phase II trial funded by the German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft) excludes preoperative RT/CTx for patients with rectal cancer localized in the upper third of the rectum, using only quality controlled principles of radical surgery (partial vs total mesorectal excision) followed by adjuvant chemotherapy.
