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

Anti-Hu paraneoplastic neurological syndromes are most commonly associated with small-cell lung cancer and are rarely reported in colorectal malignancy. A 43-year-old man presented with progressive sensory neuropathy and weight loss. Evaluation revealed positive serum anti-Hu antibodies, markedly elevated cerebrospinal fluid protein, and imaging demonstrating an ascending colon mass. Right hemicolectomy confirmed Stage IIIA (pT3N1aM0) moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma, with mismatch repair-deficient (loss of MLH1 and PMS2) and B-Raf proto-oncogene, serine/threonine kinase wild-type tumor profile. Despite a significant family history, the patient had not undergone recommended early colorectal screening. Postoperative circulating tumor DNA was negative, and the patient was placed on active surveillance; however, neurological symptoms persisted, and immunomodulatory therapy access was initially limited. This case highlights a rare association between anti-Hu-associated myeloneuropathy and early-onset colon cancer and underscores the importance of malignancy evaluation in unexplained sensory neuronopathy.
