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

backgroundTransverse colon carcinomas are often treated as a single entity in medical literature, despite differences in embryology, anatomy, physiology, genetics, and surgical treatment. We hypothesized that tumor sublocation affects demographics, oncological, surgical and quality of life outcomes.

methodsA retrospective analysis of patients who underwent surgery for transverse colon carcinomas between 2000 and 2018 was conducted. Tumor localization was determined by operative, pathological and imaging reports, and procedures were defined by the extent of vascular resection.

resultsThe study included 273 patients aged 69 years (SD 12.3), of whom 44% were female. The BMI was 28.8 kg/m

conclusionSublocations of the transverse colon carcinomas affect the symptoms of patients. Tumor sublocation does not impact the intraoperative, postoperative, or oncological outcomes and quality of life.
