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 treatment paradigm for locally advanced rectal cancer is undergoing a fundamental transformation from the traditional fixed triad of "radiotherapy-surgery-chemotherapy" to a holistic eco-system centered on precision stratification and multidisciplinary collaboration. This review synthesizes the current landscape and future perspectives of this evolution across four key dimensions. First, in surgical innovation, robotic-assisted surgery has demonstrated superiority over conventional laparoscopy in the narrow pelvis. High-quality evidence indicates that robot-assisted surgery (RAS) not only ensures better oncological outcomes, such as lower circumferential resection margin positivity, but also significantly improves functional recovery, including urinary and sexual functions. The field is further advancing towards the integration of intraoperative navigation, fluorescence imaging, and 5G remote collaboration. Second, molecular-guided immunotherapy is reshaping neoadjuvant strategies. While patients with deficient mismatch repair/microsatellite instability-high (dMMR/MSI-H) status achieve high rates of clinical complete response with immune checkpoint inhibitors, creating opportunities for organ preservation strategies like "Watch and Wait", research in the proficient mismatch repair/microsatellite stable (pMMR/MSS) population is pivoting towards synergistic radio-immunotherapy combinations to overcome immune-cold microenvironments. Third, artificial intelligence and radiomics are enabling non-invasive quantitative risk stratification and treatment response prediction. Beyond preoperative assessment, computer vision is entering the operating room to identify critical anatomical structures (
