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

Hypercoagulable state is seldom associated with colorectal carcinoma either in the form of bland thrombosis or tumor thrombosis (TT). Venous TT should not be overlooked while deciding treatment of colorectal cancer due to its propensity to complicate the disease in terms of morbidity and mortality even in favorable prognostic case of colorectal cancer. Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-contrast-enhanced computed tomography (FDG PET-CECT) scan has proven its role in staging of colorectal cancer and also to diagnose tumor venous thrombosis. Here, we are presenting a case of a 61-year-old male patient having adenocarcinoma of rectosigmoid colon, and on pretherapy FDG PET-CECT scan, he was found with portal vein TT and its related complication which is helpful for staging, treatment planning, and prognostication.
