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

Although there have been recent advances in the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer, particularly with systemic chemotherapy, new biological agents and surgical metastasectomy, the disease remains difficult to treat. To personalise the management of mCRC and optimise patient outcomes, it is vital to acquire a deeper understanding of its natural history and mechanisms behind disease progression. This may be achieved by extensive study of tumour biomarkers: proteins or genetic alterations within neoplastic cells or their surrounding stroma that may be used to predict patient outcomes, disease trajectory and response to various therapies. The discovery of mutant Kirsten-RAS in determining patients who may be refractory to anti-epidermal growth factor receptor treatments has reinvigorated and reiterated the importance of our attempts to individualise cancer care. While many biomarkers have been studied and shown promise in the setting of mCRC, they are, with the exception of K-ras testing not used currently in a clinical setting due to conflicting results, small patient samples and methodological variations. Larger, multi-centric studies with uniform methods of tumour marker study are required to effectively tailor systemic therapies and select appropriate candidates for surgical metastasectomy.
