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

backgroundSelf-expanding metal stents can be used as bridge to elective surgery for acute malignant colonic obstruction. However, the impact on long-term oncological outcome and the optimal timing of surgery are still unknown.

methodThis was a retrospective multicenter study performed at four colorectal centers. Patients undergoing stent placement as bridge to surgery, between January 2010 and December 2013, were included in the study. Primary outcomes were survival and recurrence rates along with location of the metastases. Additionally, we recorded time from stent placement to elective surgery. Secondary outcomes were postoperative complication rates. Complications were classified according to the Clavien-Dindo classification score. A logistic regression model was used to describe impact of delayed stent removal on risk of recurrence.

resultsThis study included 112 patients, with a median follow-up of 43 months. Survival rate was 70%. We found a recurrence rate of 37%, primarily local recurrences (17%). Procedure-related complications at the stent placement were seen in 18%, and complications after subsequent elective surgery were seen in 39%. A significantly higher risk of recurrence with increased time from stent placement to elective surgery (OR 5.1 [1.6-15.8], p = 0.005) was found.

conclusionDelay of elective surgery after stent placement may have a negative influence on long-term oncologic outcomes.
