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, developing from malignant transformation of the distal gut epithelium, is the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States. We present a gentleman in his 60s who was diagnosed with colorectal cancer during a routine screening colonoscopy with no evidence of distant metastasis on subsequent staging with positron emission tomography and computed tomography (PET-CT). The outside rectal MR (magnetic resonance) imaging report localized a mass to the upper rectum. Review of the MRI at an institutional, Multidisciplinary Tumor Board designated the tumor as "rectosigmoid," straddling the rectosigmoid junction at the level of the "sigmoid take-off" (STO) or alternatively at the level of the last sigmoid artery take-off (SAT) at the origin of the superior rectal artery. The anatomic differentiation between upper rectal and lower sigmoid colon cancers carries clinical importance which is highlighted in this case report and brief literature review. Optimal anatomic localization of colorectal cancers helps direct the clinical team to tailor an individualized patient care plan.
