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

Colorectal adenomas with squamoid morules are rare; however, colorectal adenocarcinomas are even rarer. Herein, we present a case of colorectal adenocarcinoma with squamoid morules arising from the transverse colon. A 60-year-old Japanese man underwent a colonoscopy, and a Type 0-Is polyp was detected in the transverse colon. The endoscopic findings suggested a high possibility of carcinoma invasion into the deep submucosa. However, endoscopic mucosal resection was performed due to the patient's preference. Histopathologically, the tumor cells mostly formed atypical glandular structures corresponding to adenocarcinomas. Solid nests were observed in parts of the tumor, composed of round, small to short spindles. Immunohistochemically, p63 was positive in some areas, CK20 was negative, and the Ki-67 positive cell rate was almost zero, suggesting a squamoid morule. Based on the above findings, colorectal adenocarcinoma with a squamoid morule was diagnosed; only the fifth case was reported worldwide. Squamoid morules should be carefully differentiated from squamous components of adenosquamous carcinomas.
