Neoadjuvant Therapy for Rectal Cancer.
Review in Surgical oncology clinics of North America, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
The treatment of locally advanced rectal cancer is challenging and requires a multidisciplinary approach. Neoadjuvant treatment has improved local control by the combination of radiotherapy, surgery, and chemotherapy. However, neoadjuvant treatment has not yet been shown to improve overall survival and is associated with toxicities and late sequelae that impair the quality of life of patients. Currently, different types of neoadjuvant strategies have raised the question about which one is the optimal strategy for rectal cancer treatment. In this article, we explore the different neoadjuvant treatment regimens currently available, their associated benefits and toxicities, and novel approaches in this area.
