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 prevalent disease in Western countries. While prevention through screening is the best approach to combat the development of colorectal cancer through the removal of precursor adenomas, many patients present with advanced disease that will require surgery and systemic therapy to improve survival. With reference to systemic therapy, the median survival of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (those with tumor spread to lymph nodes or distant sites) has improved over the past three decades due to the introduction of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), its subsequent biomodulation, and the addition other chemotherapeutic agents. There is now evidence that the biology of the colorectal tumor, in addition to the stage of colorectal cancer, may predict response to 5-FU-based therapy. More recently, systemic biological therapies that target signaling processes for tumor growth, such as epidermal growth factor receptor, and vascular endothelial growth factor, are also effective in improving patient survival with metastatic colorectal cancer. The use of a combination of systemic therapies that include chemotherapy and biologic therapy should continue to increase patient survival with metastatic colorectal cancer through appropriately designed clinical trials. Treatments based on the biology of the colorectal tumor also need to be examined through clinical trials.
