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

We present a case of a retrorectal space occupying lesion diagnosed as an adenocarcinoma of unknown primary origin by preoperative histopathology. Localization slightly above the anal sphincter would have required extirpation of the rectum. Rectal palpation, endosonography and radiological imaging, however, suggested a retrorectal tumor or a metastasis of an adenocarcinoma. Both entities would have required local resection. We applied a surgical algorithm including frozen biopsy allowing a stepwise choice of operative procedure from the spectrum in question. The operation performed was thus tailored to the entity of the tumor.
