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

backgroundA right-sided sigmoid colon is an extremely rare anatomic variation that should be considered as a possibility by surgeons and radiologists before surgery. Here, we report the first clinical case of a carcinoma in a right-sided sigmoid colon revealed by a preoperative computed tomography (CT). CASE SUMMARY: A 56-year-old Chinese man was admitted to the hospital with abdominal pain. CT revealed a redundant sigmoid colon with a mass on the right side of the cecum and ascending colon. Laparoscopy confirmed an abnormal course in the descending colon and sigmoid colon. Subsequently, hemicolectomy was performed in an open manner after laparoscopic exploration. Pathological examination revealed an infiltrative mucinous adenocarcinoma with two lymph node metastases. The patient was discharged without any complications after a week. There were no signs of recurrence or metastasis during the 3-month follow-up period.

conclusionWe report a rare anomaly of a right-sided sigmoid colon with carcinoma, which should be differentiated from ascending colon cancer and pericecal hernia to prevent errors and other surgical complications.
