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

As the incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) in the younger population increases and women start their childbearing journey at later ages, CRC in pregnancy will become an increasingly relevant and decreasingly rare occurrence. Unfortunately, there is a dearth of data on this subject given its historical rarity. CRC is often diagnosed at a late stage in pregnancy because of the conflation of symptoms of pregnancy with symptoms of CRC. A major branch point for the diagnosis and treatment of CRC in pregnancy is whether it is diagnosed early or late in pregnancy. The workup for cancer is similar for pregnant and nonpregnant populations and includes endoscopy and staging computed tomography. Treatment is dependent on the stage of cancer and term of pregnancy. This review summarizes the current evidence for diagnosis, workup, and treatment of CRC during pregnancy and explores issues of fertility after a diagnosis of CRC.
