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

Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains a major global health challenge, necessitating improved prognostic and predictive tools. The aim of the present study was to investigate the associations between elevated serum tumor markers (TMs) and clinicopathological features in patients with colorectal cancer, to evaluate their prognostic ability in advanced-stage disease cases and to identify patients most likely to respond to treatment. This retrospective study analyzed data from 293 patients treated for colorectal adenocarcinoma between January 1, 2020, and June 30, 2023. Carcinoembryonic antigen and cancer antigen (CA)19-9, CA72-4 and CA125 positivity were evaluated to classify patients into negative, single elevation (higher expression than normal in 1 TM) and multiple elevation (≥2 TMs expressed at higher than normal levels) groups. Clinical characteristics were evaluated using χ
