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

backgroundThis study will assess the effect of sigmoidectomy in treating sigmoid colon cancer (SCC).

methodsThis study will search the following databases from inception to the present: MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Scopus, OpenGrey, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure. All electronic databases will be searched with no restrictions of language. Two researchers will independently handle all study selection, data extraction, and risk of bias, respectively. Any disparities between 2 researchers will be figured out by a third researcher through discussion. RevMan 5.3 software will be used for statistical analysis in this study.

resultsThis study will provide a high-quality synthesis of targeted outcomes to evaluate the efficacy and complications of sigmoidectomy in treating SCC.

conclusionThe results of this study will provide evidence to judge whether sigmoidectomy can benefit patients with SCC. STUDY REGISTRATION ON OSF: osf.io/dpxkg.
