Colorectal cancer during pregnancy or postpartum: Case series and literature review.
Article in Obstetric medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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: Colorectal cancer in young adults is on the rise. This rise combined with delayed childbearing increases the likelihood of colorectal cancer diagnosed during pregnancy or in the postpartum period. Methods: Electronic health records were used to identify individuals with colorectal cancer in pregnancy or the postpartum period from 1 August 2007 to 1 August 2019. Results: Forty-two cases were identified. Median age at diagnosis was 33 years. Most (93%) were diagnosed in an advanced stage (III or IV) and had left-sided colorectal cancer tumors (81%). Molecular analysis was completed in 18 (43%) women with microsatellite status available in 40 (95%). The findings were similar to historical controls. Sixty percent were diagnosed in the postpartum period. Common presenting symptoms were rectal bleeding and abdominal pain. Conclusion: Currently there is no consensus recommendation regarding how to manage colorectal cancer during pregnancy. Given the overlapping symptoms with pregnancy, patients often present with advanced disease. We encourage all health care professionals caring for pregnant women to fully evaluate women with persistent gastrointestinal symptoms to rule out colorectal cancer.
