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

People with cystic fibrosis have an elevated risk of gastrointestinal malignancy. The prevalence of colorectal cancer is increasing with improving life expectancy in the CFTR modulator era. We report a case of colorectal cancer in a patient with severe cystic fibrosis lung disease, which was complicated by pulmonary embolism and potential Takotsubo cardiomyopathy. This case highlights the diagnostic challenges associated with breathlessness in the setting of severe background lung disease, stresses the importance of bowel cancer screening in people with cystic fibrosis, and emphasises the growing scope of the cystic fibrosis physician as life expectancy for the condition improves.
