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

BACKGROUND AND

objectivesThe

methodsThe medical records of a sample of patients with histologically confirmed CRC from 2010 to 2014 were reviewed. The

resultsThe tool was applied to 281 patients. A total of 69 (24.6%) and 211 (75.1%) patients met criteria for immediate and urgent referral, respectively. The remaining patient (0.4%) met criteria for 'possible priority referral', while none met criteria for 'no specific action recommended'. This resulted in a calculated sensitivity of 99.6% (95% confidence interval 98.0 to 99.9%).
