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

Large-cell neuroendocrine carcinomas (NECs) of the colon are extremely rare aggressive tumors. A 79-year-old man presented at our hospital for muco-hematic diarrhea, weight loss and incarcerated hernia in his left groin. Colonoscopy revealed sigmoid stenosis. Computed tomography confirmed an incarcerated hernia containing sigmoid mass and massive abdominal adenopathy. In absence of colonic obstruction, the patient underwent elective palliative sigmoid resection and colostomy by laparoscopic approach, and direct hernia repair through inguinal access. Histopathological examination revealed a large cells sigmoid NEC. We report the first case of large-cell neuroendocrine colon cancer incarcerated in an inguinal hernia. Due to the advanced stage, we have performed a palliative laparoscopic resection in order to reduce surgical trauma, confirm pre-operative results and minimize post-operative complications, and direct hernia repair through inguinal access.
