Watch and Wait Strategy for Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer: Update From Results of Recent Clinical Trials.
Review in Cancer medicine, 2026. 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
Locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) is a common malignant tumor in the digestive system. Currently, despite growing recognition of personalized medicine, systematic risk stratification and full incorporation of patient preferences for anal preservation and treatment tolerance remain challenging in some clinical settings. This review summarizes the latest clinical research progress on the watch-and-wait (W&W) strategy for LARC, including the applicable population of W&W, the factors predicting tumor regression, and the methods to increase the W&W rate. By synthesizing the current evidence, this review aims to inform clinical decision-making and advance the practice of evidence-based precision medicine.
