Clinico-epidemiological Profile of Colorectal Cancer in Oncology Department of Tertiary Centre Hospital in Nepal: An Observational Study.
Observational study in JNMA; journal of the Nepal Medical Association, 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
Introduction: Colorectal cancer is a major global health concern with variable incidence and presentation across regions. The study was aimed to describe the clinic-epidemiological profile of colorectal cancer in a tertiary care hospital in Nepal. Methods: This observational cross-section study was conducted at a tertiary care hospital in Nepal from April 2021 to March 2024. Ethical clearance was obtained (Reference number: IRC/NMCTH/024/21). A total sampling method was used to include 69 patients with histologically confirmed colorectal cancer. Data were collected from patient records and analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 16.0. Point estimate at 95% Confidence Interval was calculated along with frequency and percentages for binary data, and mean and standard deviation for continuous data. Results: Out of 69 patients, 39 (56.52%) were male and 30 (43.48%) female. The most affected age group was 35-50 years, accounting for 26 (37.68%) patients. Rectum including recto-sigmoid colon was the most common tumor location in 38 (55.07%) cases. The most common presenting symptom was bowel habit change, seen in 46 (66.67%) patients. Lower anterior resection was performed in 26 (37.68%) cases. Histologically, moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma was the predominant type, found in 53 (76.81%) patients. Conclusions: Colorectal cancer in this study predominantly affected middle-aged males, with the rectum being the common site and moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma the main histological type.
