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

backgroundSoft tissue metastases of solid tumors are rare events, especially for colorectal cancers. CASE PRESENTATION: We report herein the case of a 65-year-old Arab woman with soft tissue metastases (left arm, right scapula, and right axillary masses) of a colorectal cancer 4 years after the initial surgery. The patient was treated with folinic acid-fluorouracil-irinotecan and bevacizumab as first-line treatment. One year after completion of chemotherapy, the patient remained alive.

conclusionsThe key aim in reporting this case is to raise awareness among oncologists regarding potential unusual metastasis locations of colon adenocarcinoma such as skin and skeletal muscle.
