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

Synchronous colorectal and small bowel adenocarcinomas are exceptionally rare. This case report presents a 65-year-old male patient with acute bowel obstruction who underwent an emergency laparotomy. Intraoperative findings revealed synchronous sigmoid colon and small bowel tumors with peritoneal metastases. The patient underwent sigmoidectomy, small bowel resection, and metastasectomy. Histopathology confirmed two distinct primary adenocarcinomas. Postoperative management included KRAS mutation-guided chemotherapy. At the two-year follow-up, the patient remained disease-free. This case highlights the importance of thorough intraoperative exploration in emergency presentations and demonstrates the potential for favorable outcomes with aggressive multimodal treatment in synchronous gastrointestinal malignancies.
