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

objectivesTo clarify the safety and efficacy of celecoxib combined with chemoradiotherapy using S-1 for lower rectal cancer.

methodsTwenty-one patients with pathologically proven lower rectal adenocarcinoma (cT3-T4, Tx N+, M0) were included in this study. A total dose of 45 Gy was administered in daily fractions of 1.8 Gy. Celecoxib was given orally twice daily with S-1 on the day of irradiation. The dose of celecoxib was set at 400 mg/day. In Phase I, the S-1 dose was started at 80 mg/m

resultsThe S-1 recommended dose was 80 mg/m

conclusionsWe failed to show a synergistic or additive therapeutic effect of preoperative CRT using S-1, combined with celecoxib, for lower advanced rectal cancer beyond CRT using 5 FU or capecitabine alone. The incidence of complications, evidently involving intestinal ischemia, was relatively high. This treatment strategy is not recommended at present.
