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

Colorectal cancer is the third most often encountered type of cancer and represents the third leading cause of cancer related deaths, on both sexes. One of the most important prognostic parameters is the tumor's stage at the time of the diagnosis. T4 cancers represent advanced tumors associated with penetration of the visceral peritoneum (T4a) and/or direct invasion in adjacent structures (T4b). Preoperative diagnosis is influenced by the inability of the existent imaging modalities to accurately differentiate the true invasion from the simple, inflammatory adherence to the neighboring structures. As a consequence surgical treatment must follow the principle of en bloc resection; however the ability of achieving an R0 resection depends on the tumor location, invaded organ, and the type of the surgical procedure required. Neoadjuvant treatment for advanced colon cancer it may be very difficult to be applied. This review is focused on preoperative workup, therapeutic strategies and subsequent results in advanced T4 colon cancers.
