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

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) during pregnancy is rare and presents diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Aim: This case report focuses on a patient who presented with colorectal cancer during pregnancy. Case description: A 45-year-old female primigravid, pregnant woman, in the 20th week of gestation presented with complaints of multiple episodes of bloody diarrhea and tenesmus for the past 3 weeks. This was accompanied by poor appetite and weight loss (15 kg) since the onset of pregnancy. The patient also complained of lower back and abdominal pain. Investigations confirmed an obstructing rectosigmoid mass (15 cm) that could not be passed. The patient's pregnancy was terminated, and chemotherapeutic treatment was initiated. Clinical significance: With the clinical manifestations of CRC during pregnancy being non-specific, tumors are usually discovered at an advanced stage. This poses a challenge for physicians to treat such cases. This case contributes to the growing literature on pregnancies complicated by CRC and highlights the importance of high clinical suspicion and the need for a multidisciplinary team in tailoring treatment regimens in accordance with patient-centered care. Conclusion: This case report highlights the rarity of colorectal cancer during pregnancy and the challenges faced in the diagnoses and treatment.
