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

Pediatric colonic adenocarcinoma remains an extremely rare, aggressive malignancy with non-specific gastrointestinal symptoms. We hereby report a case of a 10-year-old boy who had been suffering from intermittent abdominal pain, constipation, and rectal bleeding for 3 months. Colonoscopy showed an ulcerostricturing lesion in the sigmoid colon, and histology was consistent with poorly differentiated carcinoma with signet-ring cells. There was no metastasis. The child had complete excision of the involved part with an uneventful recovery. This case illustrates the difficulties in diagnosing children with suspected colonic carcinoma and points out the role of early colonoscopy in children with rectal bleeding or changes in bowel habits.
