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

backgroundPreviously, only six cases of mixed neuroendocrine-non-neuroendocrine neoplasm (MiNENs) with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) component have been described in the colorectum, and the molecular landscape of MiNENs is also poorly understood. Herein, we present a unique case in which the SCC developed as a component of a MiNEN in the rectum. CASE PRESENTATION: The patient was firstly diagnosed as rectal small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (SCNEC) covered by tubulovillous adenoma, and then mixed SCNEC and SCC in the same site 6 months later. Representative samples from the three histologic subtypes were then sent for next-generation sequencing (NGS) separately. Multiple liver metastases occurred in the following month after the last surgery. The patient died of ketoacidosis 1 year after initial diagnosis of the tumor.

conclusionThis is the first report of this exceedingly rare tumor type to include NGS of the 3 separate morphological entities. Our findings may expedite the understanding of combined tumors in the colorectum.
