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

The majority of patients with colorectal tumors will present via the elective route. However, one-fifth of patients will present as an emergency. The most common cause of emergency presentation of colorectal cancer is obstruction followed by perforation, and in many cases, patients will present with both. We discuss the management of the patient presenting with a perforated colorectal tumor covering the acute presentation and also how to deal with consequences of a perforated tumor, namely, the management of colorectal peritoneal metastasis (CPM). CPM used to be considered a terminal condition; however, a strategy of early detection of CPM, careful patient selection for cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy, leads to much improved outcomes and even cure, in some patient compared with systemic chemotherapy alone.
