Article in OncoTargets and therapy, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeColorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common types of malignancies, and radiochemotherapy (RCT) followed by surgery is the recommended approach for CRC treatment. However, some cases do not respond to first-line conventional chemotherapy or even progress further after treatment. Moreover, there is a risk of severe side effects, such as radiodermatitis. Therefore, identifying predictors for RCT sensitivity is an essential step toward predicting and eventually overcoming resistance. MATERIALS AND
