Preoperative FOLFOX in resectable locally advanced rectal cancer can be a safe and promising strategy: the R-NAC-01 study.
Trial report in Surgery today, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeThe aim of this study was to assess the safety of rectal surgery after 5-fluorouracil-leucovorin-oxaliplatin chemotherapy (FOLFOX6).
methodsThis was a prospective, multicenter study in 11 Japanese hospitals. We included patients with rectal cancer who received 4 courses of modified FOLFOX6 (mFOLFOX6) before rectal surgery and examined the postoperative complication rate, the clinicopathological response, and the rate of chemotherapy-related adverse events (UMIN 000012559).
resultsThe study population included 36 men and 5 women. The average age of the patients was 60.8 years and the average body mass index was 23.1 kg/m
conclusionsSurgery after four courses of mFOLFOX6 chemotherapy can be a safe and promising strategy for patients with locally advanced rectal cancer.
