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

purposeThe clinicopathological features of colon cancer differ between proximal and distal sites; however, the influence of tumor location on liver metastasis has not been fully examined. The aim of this study was to evaluate the differences in the features of liver metastasis between proximal and distal colon cancer.

methodsThe clinicopathological data from 931 colon cancer patients who were treated surgically were examined retrospectively using a multivariate analysis.

resultsThe incidence of synchronous liver metastasis was 7.1% (31/438) in proximal colon patients and 11.6% (57/493) in distal colon patients. Both univariate and multivariate analyses showed distal colon cancer to be a risk factor for synchronous liver metastasis.

conclusionThe incidence of synchronous liver metastasis differs between proximal and distal colon cancer.
