Efficacy of preoperative chemoradiotherapy in downstaging rectal cancer and its impact on the long-term outcome.
Article in South Asian journal of cancer. 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
introductionResponse to preoperative chemoradiation (PRTCT) for rectal cancer predicts the long-term outcome. CONTEXT: Tertiary care hospital.
aimsThe aim is to study the factors affecting the response to chemoradiation. SETTINGS AND
designRetrospective. MATERIALS AND
methodsTwenty-three patients of rectal cancer undergoing PRTCT followed by surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy were followed up for 20-56 months. Postoperative response, tumor downstaging and nodal downstaging were correlated with the disease status.
resultsTumor downstaging was seen in 11 (50%) and nodal downstaging in 12 (63.15%) patients. Nodal downstaging was statistically significant with
conclusionMost patients of rectal cancer show PR to PRTCT, and the benefit is more for node-positive patients. Nodal PCR is associated with a higher chance of long-term disease control.
