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 aim of this study was to assess the intratumoral and peritumoral distribution of lymphatic vessel density (LVD) and lymphatic vessel invasion (LVI) in colorectal cancer and their relationships with patients' clinicopathological characteristics and survival. Paraffin sections of 81 primary colorectal cancers were examined by immunohistochemical staining using monoclonal antibody D2-40. Peritumoral LVD was significantly higher than intratumoral LVD (P = 0.000). Both intratumoral LVD and peritumoral LVD were correlated with the presence of LVI (P = 0.006 and P = 0.003, respectively). LVI, intratumoral LVI and peritumoral LVI were identified, respectively in 38, 28 and 32% of the samples investigated. Both intratumoral LVI and peritumoral LVI were correlated with lymph node metastasis (P = 0.030 and P = 0.014, respectively). Lymph node metastasis, the presence of intratumoral LVI and peritumoral LVI were adversely associated with the 5-year overall survival in a univariate analysis (P = 0.001, P = 0.011 and P = 0.017, respectively). Multivariate analysis using Cox proportional hazard model showed that neither intratumoral LVI nor peritumoral LVI was an independent prognostic factor of overall survival. The results of this study demonstrated that intratumoral as well as peritumoral LVI was associated with lymph node metastasis and adverse outcome in colorectal cancer.
