Paradigm shift in the management of rectal cancer.
Article in The Indian journal of surgery, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Surgery for rectal cancer in the pre-Total Mesorectal Excision (TME) era was associated with high local recurrence rates. The widespread adoption of the TME technique together with the addition of neoadjuvant oncological therapies have reduced local failure rates and improved survival for patients with rectal cancer. Advances in our knowledge, better understanding of tumour biology and refinement in minimal access techniques and equipment have significantly changed the management of rectal cancer. This paper reviews these changes and proposes a paradigm shift in how rectal cancer management is conceptualised and treated, such that the treatment of rectal cancer is separated into early tumours (potentially suitable for local excison), TME tumours (optimally managed by TME) and beyond TME tumours (optimally managed by multivisceral resection outside the TME plane).
