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 27th annual Western Canadian Gastrointestinal Cancer Consensus Conference (WCGCCC) was held in Calgary, Alberta, on 26-27 September 2025. The WCGCCC is an interactive multidisciplinary conference that was attended by healthcare professionals from across Western Canada (British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba) who are involved in the care of patients with colorectal cancer. Specialists from the fields of medical and radiation oncology, pathology, surgery, and a family physician in oncology participated in presentations and discussions for the purpose of developing the recommendations presented here. This consensus statement addresses recent advances in the management of colorectal cancer in a Western Canadian context, with respect to adjuvant exercise, as per the CHALLENGE trial, adjuvant Aspirin and PI3K testing, as per the ALASCCA trial, adjuvant immunotherapy, as per the ATOMIC trial, the use of encorafenib and an EGFR inhibitor with chemotherapy, as per the BREAKWATER trial, the use of combination immunotherapy as per the CHECKMATE 8HW trial and optimal strategies for omitting radiation and non-operative management of non-metastatic rectal cancer.
