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

Local advanced rectal cancer (LARC) carries high recurrence risks, especially with lateral lymph node (LLN) involvement. This study aims to evaluate the role of ICG-guided sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) in patients with clinical negative LLNs (maximum diameter < 7 mm), potentially reducing unnecessary surgeries and associated complications in patients with LARC. A retrospective analysis of 301 consecutive patients with lower LARC who underwent fluorescent lateral pelvic sentinel lymph node biopsy (FL-SLNB) or conventional LLND at the Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences between 2018 and 2022 was conducted. Clinical and pathological data were collected, and the patients were grouped into FL-SLNB and non-SLNB groups. Postoperative complications, recurrence rates, and survival outcomes were assessed. Statistical analysis was performed using χ
