Impact of inappropriate lymphadenectomy on lung metastasectomy for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer.
Observational study in Surgery today, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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 characteristics of lymph node assessment in the Spanish Colorectal Metastasectomy Registry (GECMP-CCR) and to analyze and compare the survival of patients with pathological absence or presence of lymph node metastases (LNM) with the survival of those with uncertain lymph node status (uLNs).
methodsA total of 522 patients with lung metastases from colorectal carcinoma were prospectively registered from 2008 to 2010. To confirm the pathologic absence of LNM, systematic nodal dissection or systematic sampling was required, or the lymph node status was coded as uncertain. Disease-specific survival and disease-free survival were calculated by the Kaplan-Meier method with the log-rank test for comparisons.
resultsLymphadenectomy was performed in 250 (48%) patients. LNM was found in 25 (10%) of the patients who had lymph node assessment done. The 3- and 5-year disease-specific survival rates according to lymph node status were 73.5 and 58.3% in the absence of LNM, 50.5 and 24.8% when LNM was confirmed, and 69 and 44% for those with uLNs, respectively (p = 0.006).
conclusionsThe presence of LNM and uLNs is associated with an increased risk of death. The association of nodal assessment at the time of metastasectomy to identify LNM helps us to refine the postoperative prognosis; therefore, its impact should be properly studied in a prospective clinical trial.
