Personalized surgical management of colorectal cancer in elderly population.
Review in World journal of gastroenterology, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 28 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
Colorectal cancer (CRC) in the elderly is extremely common but only a few clinicians are familiar with the complexity of issues which present in the geriatric population. In this phase of the life cycle, treatment is frequently suboptimal. Despite the fact that, nowadays, older people tend to be healthier than in previous generations, surgical undertreatment is frequently encountered. On the other hand, surgical overtreatment in the vulnerable or frail patient can lead to unacceptable postoperative outcomes with high mortality or persistent disability. Unfortunately, due to the geriatric patient being traditionally excluded from randomized controlled trials for a variety of factors (heterogeneity, frailty, etc.), there is a dearth of evidence-based clinical guidelines for the management of these patients. The objective of this review was to summarize the most relevant clinical studies available in order to assist clinicians in the management of CRC in the elderly. More than in any other patient group, both surgical and non-surgical management strategies should be carefully individualized in the elderly population affected by CRC. Although cure and sphincter preservation are the primary goals, many other variables need to be taken into account, such as maintenance of cognitive status, independence, life expectancy and quality of life.
