Epidemiology of Rectal Cancer Patients in the Kingdom of Bahrain: A Retrospective Cohort Study.
Article in Euroasian journal of hepato-gastroenterology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Aim and background: As rectal cancer diagnosis becomes more prevalent due to the increased awareness caused by campaigns, this study aims to focus on the demographics of patients diagnosed with rectal cancer in the Kingdom of Bahrain. Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study design was conducted on 184 patients diagnosed with primary or second primary rectal cancer. Stage and site of tumor at diagnosis, gender, BMI, family history, histology, and metastasis are discussed throughout the paper. Results: The majority of the population (85.9%) were Bahraini, with males (57.6%) being more prevalent. A little over 50% of patients diagnosed with rectal cancer were aged 60 years or younger. In most cases, the tumors were spotted in the lower rectum (48.9%) and were diagnosed by the appearance of symptoms (91.8%). Kaplan-Meier Survival analysis showed that the overall survival for males is 95.3% and for females 93.6% for 1 year. Conclusion: The high number of Bahraini males diagnosed with rectal cancer highlights the importance of early screening and detection. The prevalence of the tumor in the lower rectum suggests the need for improved education on recognizing symptoms and seeking medical attention. Further research is required to establish a comprehensive national screening program for rectal cancer in Bahrain. Clinical Significance: Understanding the demographic and clinical characteristics of rectal cancer patients in the Kingdom of Bahrain is required to target early screening and public awareness. The findings of this study provide a solid foundation for future developments in rectal cancer diagnosis and treatment to improve survival outcomes.
