Role of pulmonary metastasectomy in colorectal cancer in the era of modern multidisciplinary therapy.
Article in Surgery today, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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 clarify the role of pulmonary metastasectomy in colorectal cancer in the era of modern multidisciplinary therapy.
methodsThe characteristics and outcomes of the patients who underwent pulmonary metastasectomy for colorectal cancer through 2002 (n = 26) and from 2003 (n = 68) were compared.
resultsThe patients treated from 2003 had a smaller tumor size and more frequently had a history of extra-pulmonary relapses than did those treated through 2002. There was a significant improvement in the 5-year overall survival (42.0% vs. 73.1%, p = 0.03) but not the 5-year relapse-free survival (41.4% vs. 37.5%, p = 0.85) after pulmonary metastasectomy from 2003. The rate of patients who received local therapy with curative intent after the first pulmonary metastasectomy was significantly higher in patients treated from 2003 than in those treated through 2002 [4/13, (31%) vs. 25/39 (64%), p = 0.04]. The survival after relapse after the first pulmonary metastasectomy was significantly longer in patients treated from 2003 than in those treated through 2002 (median survival time: 14 vs. 47 months).
conclusionsPulmonary metastasectomy for colorectal cancer remains an important treatment option in the sense that it can achieve a good relapse-free survival.
