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

Positive resection margins predict poor prognosis in rectal cancer (RC). Literature on the impact of acellular mucin (ACM) in circumferential resection margin (CRM) or distal resection margin (DRM) of proctectomy specimens on RC recurrence and outcomes is lacking. The retrospective study was conducted to determine the oncological outcomes of the RC patients with ACM in or within 1 mm of margins of the rectal resection specimens. Histopathology reports of RC resection specimens dated from June 2013 till May 2016 were reviewed to identify cases with ACM in CRM (
