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

backgroundColon carcinomas are among the most common malignant tumors worldwide. The critical evaluation of different therapy options is particularly relevant. On the one hand, colon carcinomas more often occur at an older age, on the other hand patients with colon carcinomas often live for decades after initial diagnosis - it is just as important to avoid overtreatment as it is to avoid undertreatment, which shortens the patient's life span. Prognostically effective biomarkers are decision-making tools. There are clinical, molecular, and histological prognostic markers-the latter are presented in this paper. AIM OF THE WORK: To present the current state of knowledge on morphologically determinable prognostic markers in colon cancer. MATERIALS AND

methodLiterature search in PubMed and Medline.

conclusionsIn their daily work, pathologists identify highly relevant prognostic markers that are essential for therapeutic decisions. These markers must be communicated to the clinical colleague. The most important and longest-known prognostic markers are staging (TNM), including local resection status, lymph node involvement and number on the surgical specimen, vascular invasion, perineural sheath infiltration, and histomorphologic growth pattern determination (e.g., micropapillary colon carcinoma is associated with a very unfavorable prognosis). Recently, tumor budding has been added, which has practical applications especially in endoscopically applied pT1 carcinomas ("malignant polyps").
