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 cancer is a heterogeneous disease. There are three main pathways to colorectal cancer: the chromosomal instability pathway, the CpG island methylator phenotype pathway and the pure microsatellite instability pathway. Each of these is characterised by specific pathological precursors, mechanisms of carcinogenesis and natural history. The molecular features of these pathways have been exploited clinically in the diagnosis, screening and management of patients and families with colorectal cancer. This review summarises recent developments in our understanding of colorectal carcinogenesis and examines the interface between scientific discovery and the clinical application of molecular techniques in inherited and sporadic colorectal cancer.
