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
Introduction Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second most common cancer in Portugal and worldwide, with a high mortality rate, especially in more advanced stages. In recent decades, there has been a growing interest in the distinction between right colorectal carcinoma (RCC) and left colorectal carcinoma (LCC) due to the different presentation, treatment, and prognosis. Studies show that RCC and LCC have different clinical and biological characteristics, being considered two distinct entities. Material and methods This cross-sectional, descriptive, and comparative retrospective study included data collection at the three hospitals of Beira Interior - Centro Hospitalar Cova de Beira, Hospital Amato Lusitano, and Hospital Sousa Martins - over a 6-year period. Results The proportion of RCC cases was higher. The proportion of women was higher in the RCC group compared to the LCC (46.2%, 121/262 vs. 39%, 76/195). Anemia was statistically higher in the RCC group (p <0.01). On the other hand, intestinal occlusion tends to appear in patients with LCC (p <0.001). The most frequent surgery was elective. The proportion of emergency surgery was higher in the LCC group (LCC vs RCC: 27.2% vs 18.3%; p = 0.03). Discussion and conclusion In both the RCC and LCC groups, the male sex is the most frequently observed in Beira Interior and in Portugal, opposite from the world population, in which the female sex predominates in patients with RCC. The RCC presents alterations in bowel habits more often (p> 0.05). On the other hand, anemia is more common in RCC and intestinal occlusion in LCC, following the current literature. Conducting targeted studies and optimizing the screening and treatment processes are key to reducing mortality associated with CRC.
