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

The local recurrence rate after radical resection of rectal cancer is approximately 5%-20%, and can increase to 20%-35% in elderly patients who do not receive radiotherapy or chemotherapy. Recurrence is frequently complicated by intestinal obstruction, with a median survival of only 6-7 months. Herein, we report a case of an elderly patient who developed local recurrence with complete intestinal obstruction 4 months after radical resection of rectal cancer. After obstruction relief achieved by intestinal stent placement, a comprehensive treatment strategy was implemented based on genetic testing and multidisciplinary team discussion, consisting of regional intra-arterial infusion chemotherapy combined with deep hyperthermia and bevacizumab, followed by sequential radiotherapy. The patient ultimately achieved complete remission and long-term stable disease.
