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

The achievements in the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer during recent years are based on a better understanding of the disease and individualized regimen planning. In adjuvant treatment, the highly important IDEA (International Duration Evaluation of Adjuvant Chemotherapy) study has shown that treatment duration can safely be reduced in selected patient populations. In patients with pN1 and pT1-pT3 tumors, 3 months of treatment with 5-fluorouracil and oxaliplatin is comparable with respect to 3-year survival rate to 6 months of treatment. For patients with N2 tumors, 6 months of treatment should stay the standard of care. The limitation of the duration of the adjuvant treatment is significantly reducing the chemotherapy-induced morbidity. New studies will explore the use of immune-checkpoint inhibitors in the adjuvant setting in microsatellite-instable (MSI) tumors. In metastatic disease, next to the required molecular testing for
