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

The incidence of early-onset colorectal cancer (EO-CRC), diagnosed in patients younger than 50 years, has increased in incidence alarmingly over the past few decades, while overall incidence and mortality of colorectal cancer are stabilizing or declining in many high-income countries. These unfavorable changes have raised significant concerns and led to extensive research, resulting in a surge in studies on EO-CRC. Our aim was to obtain a more comprehensive understanding of the current state of this field and to identify prospective research directions by performing a bibliometric analysis of EO-CRC. A total of 1952 papers on EO-CRC published from 2000 to 2022 were identified after a thorough search of the Web of Science Core Collection. The United States dominated this field, with Harvard University contributing the greatest number of papers, while the journal
