Total neoadjuvant therapy in early-onset versus average-onset locally advanced rectal cancer: patient characteristics and tolerance of therapy.
Article in ESMO gastrointestinal oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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: Patients with early-onset (EO, age <50 years) compared with average onset (AO, age ≥50 years) colorectal cancer have significantly higher rates of gastrointestinal toxicity with fluoropyrimidine and oxaliplatin therapy in the metastatic and adjuvant settings. Limited data exist regarding tolerance of total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT) when treating younger patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) despite the rising incidence of EO rectal cancer. Materials and methods: Data were abstracted from a retrospective database of patients with LARC treated with TNT from 1 January 2015 through 28 April 2021. Characteristics compared between EO and AO patients were demographic features, baseline characteristics of tumor, treatment delivery, antiemetic use, and toxicities. Results: Of 115 patients (39 EO, 76 AO), female patients constituted 51% of EO patients and 34% of AO patients ( Conclusions: Patients with EO, compared with AO, LARC receiving TNT appear to have higher rates of nausea and should be considered for enhanced antiemetic regimens.
