Prognostic factors for patients with stage II colon cancer: results of a prospective study.
Article in International journal of colorectal disease, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
purposeMany studies revealed that the recurrence rate of stage II colon cancer was up to 25–40 %. Regrettably, the risk factors for recurrence of stage II colon cancer remain ambiguous. So, we conducted this study to identify the clinicopathological factors associated with prognosis of stage II colon cancer.
methodsWe enrolled 452 stage II colon cancer patients who underwent radical resection at Peking University Cancer Hospital between January 2007 and December 2010, and 162 patients who received adjuvant treatment were excluded.
resultsThe 5-year recurrence rate and overall survival of this cohort were 19.3 (56/290) and 75.9 % (220/290), respectively. In univariate analysis, the following variables were significantly associated with tumor recurrence:male patients (P<0.001), tumor size >5 cm (P=0.048), and preoperative carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) level ≥ 5 ng/ml (P=0.004); the following factors were significantly associated with adverse 5-year overall survival:male patients (P<0.001), age ≥60 years old (P=0.004), less than 12 lymph nodes (P=0.006), and preoperative CEA level ≥5 ng/ml (P=0.011). In multivariate analysis,the preoperative CEA level ≥5 ng/ml (P=0.003) and male (P<0.001) were adverse variables significantly associated with tumor recurrence, and the preoperative CEA level ≥ 5 ng/ml (P=0.016), male (P<0.001), and age ≥60 years old (P=0.008) were independent prognostic factors for the 5-year overall survival rate, respectively.
conclusionsThe preoperative CEA level ≥5 ng/ml and male were undesirable factors significantly associated with tumor recurrence. The preoperative CEA level ≥5 ng/ml, male, and age ≥60 years old were adverse factors significantly associated with poor prognosis.
