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: No previous studies have reported on the use of minimally invasive endoscopic therapy for colon cancer in older patients. Case presentation: An 80-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with haematochezia and diagnosed with advanced colon cancer in 2018. Traditional surgical care was rejected by his family. We successfully treated the patient with multiple minimally invasive endoscopic therapies, such as argon plasma coagulation, from 2018 to 2021. Conclusion: Invasive endoscopic therapy is a feasible way to treat colon cancer in older patients.
