Metastatic colon cancer treated using traditional Chinese medicine combined with chemotherapy: A case report.

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
backgroundColon cancer (CC) is one of the leading causes of cancer-related morbidity and mortality worldwide. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is widely used in the treatment of various chronic diseases. CC easily metastasizes and results in high morbidity and mortality rates. CASE SUMMARY: A 71-year-old man with a 12-year history of old myocardial infarction and a 7-year history of type 2 diabetes mellitus was diagnosed with CC and underwent right hemicolectomy 1 year ago. Tumor biopsy revealed moderately poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma. Subsequently, chemotherapy with oxaliplatin and paclitaxel was administered. Anastomosis recurrence and pelvic metastasis were noted 37 d later. The patient received eight 21-d cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy with oxaliplatin and capecitabine after recurrence. However, the tumor persisted, and chemotherapy-related liver damage developed gradually. Thus, he was advised to take TCM for the recurrence and pelvic metastasis. The patient's metastatic CC was cured after receiving TCM combined with long-term chemotherapy.
conclusionTCM may be an effective adjunct therapy in the treatment of patients with metastatic CC.
