Role of Ultrasonography in the Surveillance of Disease-Free Patients with Colorectal Cancer: a Retrospective Audit.
Article in Indian journal of surgical oncology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Close surveillance of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients is helpful as early detection of resectable metastasis has a survival benefit. Ultrasonography (USG) is a frequently used modality to detect liver recurrence, although international guidelines do not include it. To evaluate the potential added role of USG in early detection of CRC recurrence. We performed a retrospective analysis of 230 patients of colorectal cancer treated at our institute in 2013-2014 who underwent abdominal USG for surveillance. 77/230 (33%) developed recurrence, with liver being the second most common site (22/230). 5/230 (2%) patients had recurrent disease first detected on USG, four of which also had raised serum CEA (carcinoembryonic antigen) levels. There were three false positive and four false-negative cases on USG. There was no added advantage of USG for early detection of CRC recurrence.
