Transanal local resection for benign and malignant rectal tumours.
Trial report in International journal of colorectal disease, 1995. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Local therapy has been widely reported and accepted for benign tumours and carefully selected cancers of the rectum. Thirty-three patients with benign or malignant low rectal tumors have undergone a prospective evaluation after local resection with transanal electroresection as described by Faivre. Patients were divided in three groups: 1) local excision of benign tumours (12 patients), 2) curative resection for localised malignant tumours (7 patients) and 3) palliative local resection for malignant tumours (14 patients). The complications included transient incontinence and rectal bleeding. Patients have been followed for a mean period of 18 months (1-54). In group 3 there were four (28%) recurrences. The remainder of the patients with malignant tumours have been free of disease on follow-up. Although it is ideal for benign neoplasms, further follow-up is needed to determine its true indication in malignant lesions.
