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
backgroundManagement of rectal cancer (RC) has undergone many changes in recent decades. A multidisciplinary approach to this complex disease is essential, ensuring high-quality diagnostic, treatment, and outcomes. We aimed to compare treatment results of RC in a single-centre setting between 2010 and 2015.
methodsA retrospective comparative study included patients with newly diagnosed and operated resectable RC. Patients' diagnostic and treatment data were analysed. Postoperative morbidity was measured according to the Clavien-Dindo classification. Survival data were received from the Lithuanian Cancer Registry. Continuous variables were expressed as mean and SD. Student
resultsThe study included 179 patients: 80 from 2010 and 99 from 2015. Mean sample age was 67.1 ± 10.7 years. There was no significant difference regarding age, gender, median ASA (3 in both groups), but mean hospital stay was 2 days shorter (8 vs. 10 days) in 2015 (
conclusionsThe expanded quantity of preoperative imaging, an improved radiological staging, and compulsory multidisciplinary team board discussions have led to selective neoadjuvant treatment decision followed by surgery which can positively affect the 2-year OS rate.
