Multimodality Imaging to Direct Management of Primary and Recurrent Rectal Adenocarcinoma Beyond the Total Mesorectal Excision Plane.
Review in Radiology. Imaging cancer, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Rectal tumors extending beyond the total mesorectal excision (TME) plane (beyond-TME) require particular multidisciplinary expertise and oncologic considerations when planning treatment. Imaging is used at all stages of the pathway, such as local tumor staging/restaging, creating an imaging-based "roadmap" to plan surgery for optimal tumor clearance, identifying treatment-related complications, which may be suitable for radiology-guided intervention, and to detect recurrent or metastatic disease, which may be suitable for radiology-guided ablative therapies. Beyond-TME and exenterative surgery have gained acceptance as potentially curative procedures for advanced tumors. Understanding the role, techniques, and pitfalls of current imaging techniques is important for both radiologists involved in the treatment of these patients and general radiologists who may encounter patients undergoing surveillance or patients presenting with surgical complications or intercurrent abdominal pathology. This review aims to outline the current and emerging roles of imaging in patients with beyond-TME and recurrent rectal malignancy, focusing on practical tips for image interpretation and surgical planning in the beyond-TME setting.
