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

Colon cancer generally presents with lower gastrointestinal symptoms, such as diarrhea, constipation, and general abdominal discomfort; it is rare for the primary presentation to have upper gastrointestinal symptoms. We report a patient with coloduodenal fistula secondary to colon malignancy who presented with incessant vomiting and dramatic weight loss as the chief complaint. It is important to consider colon cancer as part of the differential in patients with atypical presentations of upper gastrointestinal symptoms who have known colon cancer risk factors.
