Colorectal carcinoma in first decade of life: our experience.
Article in Pediatric surgery international, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
introductionThough the lifetime risk of colorectal carcinoma (CRC) in general population is 5-6 %, it is uncommon in pediatric age group. Here, we are reporting our experience of CRC in the first decade of life.
methodsFrom January 2010 to December 2013, seven patients with histopathologically confirmed colorectal carcinoma were treated in the Department of Pediatric Surgery, Chittagong Medical College and hospital. Age, sex, presenting symptoms, location of the primary tumor, serum CEA level, treatment modalities and outcomes were evaluated.
resultsThere were four male and three female patients and age ranged from 6.5 to 10.5 years. Rectum (3 patients) and rectosigmoid (2 patients) were the most common primary sites. Serum carcinoembryonic antigen level was obtained in six patients and in only one patient the level was raised markedly (137 ng/ml). Two patients of familial adenomatous polyposis had localized disease and others presented in an advanced stage. Histopathologically, poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma was noted in five patients with one signet ring cell type and well differentiated in rest of the two patients. Only one patient was surviving at the last follow up.
conclusionAdvanced stage at diagnosis, aggressive histologic subtype and poor survival are the hallmarks of pediatric CRC.
