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

backgroundSeveral clinical risk scores for patients with colorectal liver metastases (CLM) were established in cohorts of patients undergoing liver resection (LR) without neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). The purpose of the study was to evaluate the predictive values of four common risk scores in the setting of NAC and the impact of score changes during NAC.

methodsRisk scores (Fong, Nordlinger, Nagashima, and Konopke) were retrospectively calculated for 336 patients undergoing LR for CLM, including 109 patients without and 227 patients with NAC. In patients with NAC, the scores were calculated before and after NAC.

resultsIn patients without NAC (n = 109), all risk scores except the Konopke score showed a significant correlation with disease-free survival (DFS). Only the Nagashima score also was predictive for overall survival (OS). In patients with NAC (n = 227), all scores except the Konopke score were predictive for DFS and OS before and after NAC. Score changes in the Fong and the Nagashima score showed a significant correlation with DFS and OS.

conclusionsNagashima score was the most universally applicable score and predicted prognosis in all tested scenarios.
