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

objectiveCarcinomas of the colon and rectum are the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Although advances in the surgical treatment of primary colorectal cancers have lead to improvements in patient survival at early tumor stages, treatment of more progressive cancers has not resulted in dramatic improvements in patient survival. However, the selection of patient subgroups based on their prognosis and other characteristics could result in improved outcomes from adjuvant therapies in patients with Dukes B and C carcinomas.

methodsThe authors reviewed the available data on the value of cell surface molecules in assessing the prognosis of colorectal carcinomas, paying specific attention to the evaluation of statistical analysis and multivariate procedures.

resultsCell surface molecules have been identified on colorectal carcinoma cells whose expression appears to be related to malignant transformation, tumor progression, or patient prognosis. Among these cell surface molecules, various cell adhesion molecules, growth factor receptors, proteinases, and their receptors and inhibitors have been identified as potentially useful prognostic markers.

conclusionsAlthough data exist on the prognostic values of certain cell surface markers, the use of multivariate analysis for the identification of valuable prognostic factors remains uncommon. Using reproducible and standardized multivariate analysis procedures, new tumor markers should be carefully examined for their biologic and prognostic relevance before being considered as potentially useful in the management of colorectal cancers.
