Article in Advanced biomedical research, 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: Considering that colorectal cancer is one of the most common neoplasms of the gastrointestinal tract and this disease has the significant impact on the quality of life (QoL) of patients. This study aimed to determine the QoL and its associated factors in these patients. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 400 patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer registered in the cancer registration system of Isfahan province in 2015. For this purpose, demographic characteristics and two QoL questionnaires QOL-C29 and QOL-C30 were completed and assessed. Results: The mean QoL score in the patients was 54.61 ± 16.1, and life quality was satisfactory in 46 (11.5%) patients, moderate in 153 (38.3%), and poor in 201 (50.2%) individuals. The mean QoL scores in the functional and symptoms dimensions were 47.65 ± 17.6 and 44.89 ± 13.53, respectively. The QoL score did not differ significantly by gender ( Conclusion: According to the results of this study, the QoL of patients with colorectal cancer is not desirable. Factors such as age, history of surgery, bearing a colostomy sac, and disease stage can affect the QoL, physical and psychological conditions of these patients. Therefore, considering supportive care for these patients to improve their individual and social QoL is of particular importance.
