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 cancer (CRC) is the third most common malignancy. Common metastatic sites for colorectal carcinoma are the lung and liver while cutaneous metastases are extremely rare. Skin metastasis may be an early manifestation of metastatic disease and represents a poor prognosis. Here we present a case of metachronous skin metastasis during chemoradiation treatment in a patient with locally advanced rectal cancer. A young boy aged 19 years presented to our hospital with radiological TNM staging of T3c N1 M0 with circumferential resection margin (CRM) involved. The treatment plan was defunctioning colostomy with neoadjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy with a later plan for surgery. Seven months later, there is a focal skin nodule in the nape of the neck. A core biopsy of this cutaneous nodule was done and proved metastatic. Surgery for the primary tumor and oligometastatic site was planned but due to extensive primary tumor, surgery was terminated and continues with chemotherapy and reassessment.
