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

This review aims to summarize the latest updates in the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and management of colorectal cancers (CRCs) associated with mutation(s) or alteration(s) in the DNA mismatch repair (MMR) genes. It covers inheritable (Lynch syndrome, constitutional MMR-deficiency syndrome and Familial CRC X) and sporadic CRCs as well as Lynch-like syndrome with both heritable and sporadic features. Despite recommendation for universal testing in all newly diagnosed CRCs, cases with MMR deficiency (dMMR) are still generally underdiagnosed and undertreated in current clinical practice. The distinct molecular and clinicopathologic features of this unique subset of CRC have significant medical importance and have attracted continuous research interest over the years. Updated and currently ongoing research have shown promising results associated with improved clinical outcomes for these patients.
