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 (CRCa) is the most frequent gastrointestinal (GI) malignancy, while the liver is the most common site of distant metastases from CRCa, arising from hematogenous spread mainly via the portal venous system. The multiform nature of tumor presentation necessitates a comprehensive approach to diagnosis, perioperative care, and oncological treatment strategy. Herein, we present a case of a 76-year-old male patient diagnosed with obstructive bowel ileus due to a sigmoid tumor with synchronous, suspicious for metastasis, liver lesion who underwent Hartmann's sigmoidectomy in conjunction with left lateral hepatic resection at the same time. Intraoperatively significant blood loss occurred, while the postoperative course of the patient included pulmonary embolism (PE) six days after the procedure, being discharged on postoperative day (POD) 21. After oncological consensus, the patient underwent adjuvant chemotherapy and his reevaluation nine months after surgery confirmed that he is free of active disease. It is evident, however, that the number of existing studies concerning synchronous metastasectomy alongside CRCa resection in an emergency setting is limited and the literature gaps on this matter emphasize the need for further research.
