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

Background: BRAF Patients and methods: The COALA study is a national, prospective registry-based observational analysis of patients with mCRC across 21 Australian institutions. Data were extracted from the Treatment of Recurrent and Advanced Colorectal Cancer (TRACC) and TRACC-Select registries and included demographics, molecular profiles, treatment patterns and overall survival (OS). Uptake and impact of encorafenib plus cetuximab (EC), since being available in Australia from May 2019, were examined. Results: Of 2976 patients tested for Conclusions: The COALA study provides the first Australian real-world profile of BRAF
