The influence of marital status on survival of gallbladder cancer patients: a population-based study.
Article in Scientific reports, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Marital status has been found to be a prognostic factor for survival in various cancers, but its role in gallbladder cancer (GBC) has not been fully studied. In this study, we used the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program (SEER)-registered database to analyze the survival of GBC patients with different marital status. A total of 6,627 GBC patients were selected from SEER database from 2004 to 2013. The age, race, grade, histologic type, AJCC stage, SEER stage and marital status were identified as independent prognostic factors. Married GBC patients had a higher 5-year cancer-specific survival (CSS) than that of unmarried ones (20.1% v.s. 17.8%, P < 0.05). Subgroup analyses showed that widowed patients had 14.0% less of 5-year CSS compared to married ones of stage I (55.9% v.s. 41.9%, P < 0.05), 14.7% of stage II (15.6% v.s. 10.9%, P < 0.05), and 1.5% of stage III + IV (2.9% v.s. 1.4%, P < 0.05). In addition, single is an independent prognostic factor at stage III + IV (HR = 1.225, 95%CI 1.054-1.423, P = 0.008). These results indicated that widowed patients were at a high risk of cancer-specific mortality and marriage can be a protective prognostic factor in CSS.
