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

introductionColorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer, whereas lymphoma is the sixth leading cause of cancer death, 90% of which corresponds to non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). The association of these two primary tumors, a solid tumor with an hematological malignancy, is very uncommon. PRESENTATION OF CASE: We report the case of a 47-year-old man who presented with abdominal pain, a right upper quadrant mass and 12 kg of weight loss in 9 months. The computed tomography (CT) showed a large intra-abdominal mass and a wall thickening at the rectosigmoid junction. A colonoscopic biopsy confirmed a colorectal adenocarcinoma and a laparoscopic biopsy of the intraabdominal mass confirmed a diffuse large B-cell NHL. After multidisciplinary discussion it was decided to treat first the NHL with 3 cycles of R-CHOP chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine and prednisone). The patient experienced a good response with a 70% decrease in the intraabdominal mass and a negative PET/CT. Four months after diagnosis an anterior rectal resection was performed. The patient recovered uneventfully and was discharged 5 days after surgery. The patient finally died 20 months after surgery due to disease progression. DISCUSSION: The association of CRC and NHL is an extremely rare scenario that represents a great multidisciplinary challenge with respect to treatment due to the scarce literature found on this topic.

conclusionWhen CRC and NHL are present, all the different disease patterns must be considered in a multidisciplinary and patient-oriented fashion, in order to decide the best therapeutic strategy for each individual.
