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

Objectives Completion of postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy (AC) contributes to the improved prognosis of patients with pathological stage (pStage) III colorectal cancer (CRC). Therefore, identifying patients with AC intolerance is important. Although abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) indicates frailty, its clinical impact on AC completion remains unclear. This study aimed to clarify the association between AAC and AC incompletion. Methods Patients who underwent AC for pStage III CRC between 2010 and 2021 (n = 161) were enrolled in this study. AAC volume was evaluated by preoperative CT tomography, and the patients were divided into two groups based on an AAC cutoff of 992 mm
