Total neoadjuvant therapy for rectal cancer: evidence and challenge.
Review in Annals of coloproctology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Recent advances in the management of rectal cancer have dramatically changed the clinical practice of colorectal surgeons because the main focus of rectal cancer treatment has changed from sphincter-saving to an organ-preserving strategies. Modifying the delivery of systemic chemotherapy to improve patients' survival is another progress in colorectal cancer management, known as total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT). TNT is a new strategy used by colorectal surgeons to improve the quality of life and survival of patients after treatment. TNT poses limitations or obstacles, such as overtreatment issues in patients with stage I rectal cancer. However, considering the quality-of-life issues in patients with low-lying rectal cancer necessitating a permanent colostomy, the indication for TNT will be expanded. This review summarizes the recently conducted clinical trials and foresees future perspectives on TNT.
