Consensus Statements for Clinical Practice in Advanced/Metastatic Colorectal Cancers in India Using a Modified Delphi Method.
Article in South Asian journal of cancer, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common malignancies across the world and is the fourth most common cancer among men in India as per the Global Cancer Observatory (GLOBOCAN) data 2020. Available data suggest that approximately 30% of patients present with advanced/metastatic CRC (mCRC). This publication summarizes the latest evidence with cognizance of the unique challenges faced in India by medical oncologists treating mCRC. Methods: A panel of 38 medical oncologists held a meeting in February 2023 and reviewed the evidence available for the management of mCRC. The meeting concentrated on the recognition and management of mCRC with a focus on systemic therapeutic approaches. A literature review of these aspects of management leads to the formation of consensus statements with the level of evidence and grades of recommendation. Statements were evaluated by the modified Delphi method. Key Content and Findings: The panel comprising 38 experts formulated 51 consensus statements with regard to the management of mCRC, including oligometastatic CRC, unresectable CRC, as well as various systemic therapeutic options. Resource-constrained scenarios, specifically with regard to the economic constraints and availability of drugs in India, were evaluated as part of the statements. Conclusion: Our consensus statements offer practical, yet evidence-based management guidelines for treating mCRC in the Indian context. Stratifying and recommending treatment options in a resource-constrained scenario is an important aspect of these statements.
