Human Papillomavirus Positive Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Rectum.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is most commonly seen in the esophagus and anal canal in the gastrointestinal tract. The incidence of SCC of the rectum is infrequent with no clear etiology. There have been limited reported cases of SCC of the rectum caused by human papillomavirus (HPV). Due to the rarity of carcinoma, the management of SCC of the rectum is not standardized. We report a case of a 51-year-old female with an insignificant medical history presenting with hematochezia and weight loss and was found to have HPV-positive SCC of the rectum. This case report emphasizes the importance of work-up, usefulness of HPV testing for high-risk patients, and clinical management of SCC of the rectum.
