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

objectiveTo report a case of rectal cancer in a patient with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS). CLINICAL PRESENTATION AND

interventionA 20-year-old woman with intermittent bloody stool of 4 months was admitted for examination. Gastroendoscopy revealed multiple polyps involving the stomach, small intestine, colon and a rectal adenocarcinoma. A diagnosis of PJS was made based on intestinal polyps with characteristic pathology and melanotic macules on the lips. After surgery and chemotherapy upon follow-up at 8 months, the patient did not have any signs of recurrence.

conclusionThis case showed that rectal carcinoma should be considered for young patients with PJS.
