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

backgroundThe present study was designed to investigate the prognostic factors of stage IIA (pT3N0M0) colon cancer.

methodsWe retrospectively reviewed consecutive patients with stage IIA colon cancer treated with curative surgery alone from January 2004 to June 2008 in Peking University Cancer Hospital. Patient demographics, and clinical, histopathologic, and laboratory data were analyzed. Univariate and multivariate analyses were carried out to identify prognostic factors associated with 3-year disease-free survival (DFS).

resultsFor the 84 valid cases reviewed in this study, the 3-year DFS was 88.1 %. That for a group with elevated CEA was 77.1 % and for a group with a normal CEA level, it was 95.9 %, with statistical difference (p = 0.007). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that CEA level (p = 0.012, OR = 8.013, 1.573-40.817), expression of Ki67 (p = 0.099, OR = 3.298, 0.799-3.610), male gender (p = 0.024, OR = 7.212, 1.293-40.237), and anemia (p = 0.011, OR = 6.461, 1.537-27.151) were the independent prognostic factors for 3-year DFS. Stratified analysis revealed that an elevated CEA level combined with high expression of Ki67 was associated with poorer prognosis (3-year DFS 70 %).

conclusionsAn elevated preoperative serum level of CEA and high expression of Ki67 in tumor tissue were predictors of poor prognosis for patients with stage IIA colon cancer. These patients should therefore be considered candidates for receiving intensive surveillance. Future clinical trials using multicenter patient cohorts should be prospectively performed to evaluate whether these high-risk patients could benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy to improve prognosis.
