Genetic, Epidemiological, Clinical, and Therapeutic Trajectories in Colon and Rectal Cancers.
Review in Cancers, 2025. 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
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is among the most prevalent malignancies worldwide, representing the second leading cause of cancer-related mortality and accounting for approximately 2 million new cases and nearly half a million deaths annually. Global age-standardized incidence rates are highest in Australia/New Zealand and other Western countries, and lowest in parts of sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, reflecting variations in demographics, lifestyle exposures, and screening practices. Colon cancer constitutes the larger fraction of CRC cases, with rectal cancer contributing substantially, and early-onset CRC (<50 years) is increasing across both high-income and emerging regions. Established risk factors include age, hereditary syndromes, obesity, sedentary behavior, dietary patterns, metabolic disorders, and chronic inflammation, with notable distinctions between colon and rectal subsites. This narrative review provides a comprehensive overview of CRC epidemiology, molecular and genetic pathogenesis, staging, and modern therapeutic approaches, addressing colon and rectal cancers separately due to their distinct biology, clinical behavior, and treatment strategies. By integrating current knowledge on genetic drivers, systemic and local therapies, and patient stratification, the review aims to inform clinical practice, support clinical trial design, discuss ongoing challenges and future perspectives, and foster further research toward precision-guided management of CRC.
