Recommendations and expert opinion on the treatment of locally advanced rectal cancer in Spain.

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
In Spain 22,000 new cases of colorectal cancer are diagnosed each year, with 13,075 deaths resulting from this disease. Around 70% of colorectal cancers are localised in the colon and 30% in the rectum. A group of Spanish experts established recommendations on what would be the best strategy in the treatment of locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC). Adequate assessment of local tumour extension, including high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging and endorectal ultrasound, is essential for successful treatment. The three cornerstones in the treatment of LARC are surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Most patients will need a total mesorectal excision (TME). Preoperative chemo-radiotherapy (CRT) is preferred for the majority of patients with T3/T4 disease and/or regional node involvement, and adjuvant chemotherapy is recommended after a patient-sharing decision. Capecitabine, after showing a trend in improved downstaging in neoadjuvant stratum and the convenience of its oral administration, represents an alternative to 5-FU as perioperative treatment of LARC.
