Preoperative T staging of colon cancer using CT colonography with multiplanar reconstruction: new diagnostic criteria based on "bordering vessels".
Article in International journal of colorectal disease, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
purposePreoperative T staging of colon cancer, in particular, for distinguishing T3 from T2 and T4, has been a challenge. The aim of this study was to evaluate newly developed criteria for preoperative T staging of colorectal cancer using computed tomography colonography (CTC) with multiplanar reconstruction (MPR), based on the spatial relationship of tumors and "bordering vessels," that is, marginal vessels that are detectable by multi-detector row CT with MPR.
methodsA total of 172 patients with colon and upper rectal cancer who underwent preoperative CTC and surgery between August 2011 and September 2013 were included. Preoperative T staging using the new criteria was performed prospectively and compared with pathologic results.
resultsSensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of T staging by CTC using the new criteria were 63%, 80%, and 77% for T2 (n = 30); 72%, 94%, and 81% for T3 (n = 95); and 79%, 99%, and 97% for T4a (n = 14), respectively. Positive predictive value for T3 was 93%, indicating that a T3 diagnosis by CTC is precise. In addition, negative predictive value for pathological T4a was 98%, indicating that a "not T4a" diagnosis by CTC is also precise.
conclusionsOur newly developed criteria are useful for preoperative T staging, particularly for distinguishing T3 from T2 and T4.
