A practical framework for the targeted use of total neoadjuvant therapy for rectal cancer.
Review in Cancer, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT) for rectal cancer is the preoperative delivery of radiation or chemoradiotherapy as well as systemic chemotherapy for the purpose of improving treatment completion rates and decreasing toxicity, maximizing the primary tumor response, and improving survival for patients with rectal cancer. This review summarizes the data surrounding TNT, including several recent randomized controlled trials. Moreover, it reviews the literature regarding high-quality surgery and the role of radiation and chemotherapy in the treatment of rectal cancer in the modern era. Finally, it presents an evidence-based protocol for the selective use of TNT in the treatment of patients with rectal cancer.
