Emergency Management of Obstructive Colorectal Cancer - A Retrospective Study of Efficacy and Safety in Self-expanding Metallic Stents and Trans-anal Tubes.
Article in In vivo (Athens, Greece). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
BACKGROUND/
aimThe self-expanding metallic stent (SEMS) has recently been used for obstructive colorectal cancer (OCRC), and reports of its use are increasing. However, the long-term results of OCRC after using SEMS remain unclear. This study investigated the characteristics of SEMS compared to trans-anal tube (TAT) and clarified the long-term results and efficacy of SEMS for OCRC. PATIENTS AND
methodsWe analyzed 48 patients who required SEMS or TAT for emergent decompression of OCRC and underwent resection for OCRC between 2007 and 2019. The perioperative factors and long-term results in the two groups were evaluated.
resultsPatients with OCRC were divided into the SEMS (n=23) and the TAT group (n=25). No significant differences were seen in background factors, complications and the 5-year overall survival after surgery (p=0.3500) between the two groups. The clinical success of decompression (p=0.0072), oral intake (p<0.0001) and change in serum albumin (p<0.0001) from decompression to surgery were significantly better in the SEMS compares to the TAT group.
conclusionThe long-term outcomes in the SEMS group were not significantly different than in the TAT group, and nutritional status was better in patients with SEMS, suggesting that SEMS is very effective and may be the first-line treatment of OCRC.
