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 is one of the most common causes of cancer-related death in the United States. Although it frequently metastasizes to adjacent structures such as the liver, orbital metastases are exceedingly uncommon. Additionally, the morbidity and mortality associated with colorectal cancer appear to be shifting to a younger population, a phenomenon that is exacerbated in minority populations. We present a case of orbital metastasis from colorectal carcinoma in a young Hispanic male. This uncommon presentation of disease emphasizes the link between healthcare disparity and differential outcomes of colorectal cancer.
