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

With the development of comprehensive treatment, locoregional transarterial chemotherapy has become an alternative conversion therapy, palliative therapy, and neoadjuvant therapy for many solid malignant tumors. Locoregional transarterial chemotherapy, which is most frequently used for treating liver cancer, has the characteristics of high regional efficacy and few systemic adverse reactions. In recent years, the number of relevant reports of locoregional chemotherapy for treating initially inoperable colorectal cancer (CRC), including non-metastatic and metastatic CRC, has gradually increased. However, the specific treatment options for such locoregional therapy are not the same, and its indications, medication regimens and combined treatments have not reached any consensus. In this review, the application status of locoregional transarterial chemotherapy in primary and metastatic CRC patients has been reviewed and summarized to provide a reference for future clinical work and scientific research.
