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

The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by the new severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has spread at a very fast rate, overwhelming and disrupting healthcare systems around the world since its outbreak in December 2019 in China. As of October 2021, the total number of COVID-19 cases exceeds 240,000,000, and the total number of deaths is close to 5,000,000. In the situation of widespread SARS-CoV-2 infection, restrictions on the medical system due to shifts in medical care to accommodate the pandemic will occur, and its impact on surgical and endoscopic treatment for colorectal cancer is inevitable. Therefore, it is necessary to satisfy all of the following requirements: patient safety, prevention of exposure of healthcare workers including surgeons, prevention of nosocomial infection, and a decision on how to treat the primary disease. Surgical triage is also required, based on comprehensive consideration of the patient's condition, the severity of the disease, the SARS-CoV-2 infection situation in the region, and the medical supply system at each facility, including medical resources, human resources, and the availability of medical equipment. Understanding the diagnostic and treatment environment that the COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically changed is important in providing appropriate surgical care to patients who require surgery while taking utmost care to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
