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

The standard oncologic treatment of locally advanced rectal cancer is long-course radio-chemotherapy followed by surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy. This can result in a lengthy total treatment duration, sometimes up to one year from the diagnosis. Interruptions to neoadjuvant treatment can occur for a variety of reasons, forced or unforced. The main purpose of this study is to analyze the survival data of locally advanced rectal cancer patients who received neoadjuvant treatment and to find a cut-off point showing exactly how many days of interruption of neoadjuvant treatment the risk of death or disease relapse increases. We conducted a retrospective study on 299 patients with locally advanced rectal cancer using survival analysis (Kaplan-Meier curve and Cox regression) to determine survival probabilities for overall survival, local control, and disease-free survival. Patients with 0 to 3 days of neoadjuvant therapy interruption had a higher overall survival probability compared to patients with 4 or more days (90.2% compared to 57.9%,
