Trends in the treatment outcomes for advanced colorectal cancer: an analysis at a single community hospital in Japan.
Article in Surgery today, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
purposeTo evaluate the trends in the treatment outcomes for patients with colorectal cancer in Japan.
methodsWe performed a retrospective analysis of patients undergoing surgery for primary colorectal cancer during a 16-year period (Group A [1992-2000, n = 258]; Group B [2001-2008, n = 258]) at Fukuoka City Hospital. Because no significant differences were found in the survival rates in stage 0, I, II, and III patients between the two groups, we concentrated on examining stage IV patients.
resultsThe 3-year survival rate for stage IV patients in Group B (n = 26) was significantly higher than that in Group A (n = 31) (34.9% vs 3.9%, P < 0.05). The rate of curative resection for advanced liver metastases in Group B patients was also significantly higher than that of Group A patients (50.0% vs 13.3%, P < 0.05). As a result, the 2-year survival rate for the disease-free patients in Group B was significantly higher than that for the non-disease-free patients in Group B (46.0% vs 21.0%, P < 0.05). Group B had a greater proportion of patients receiving l-leucovorin/5-fluorouracil than Group A (8 patients vs none, P < 0.05).
conclusionsRecent advances in surgical innovations and the utilization of new chemotherapeutic agents may have led to significant improvements in the treatment outcomes for advanced colorectal cancer in Japan.
