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

purposeThe present study aimed to evaluate the clinicopathologic characteristics of patients with extranodal extension (ENE) and the prognostic implications of ENE in stage III colorectal cancer (CRC).

resultsENE was more frequent in younger patients and those with rectal cancer, higher T stage, higher N stage, lymphovascular invasion (LVI), and perineural invasion (PNI). Five-year disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) were lower in patients with ENE-positive than in those with ENE-negative tumors (DFS, 66.4% vs. 80.1%; and OS, 74.8% vs. 85.6%, respectively; MATERIALS AND

methodsThe records of 1,948 stage III CRC patients who underwent curative surgery between January 2003 and December 2010 were retrospectively reviewed.

conclusionsThe presence of ENE is independently and significantly associated with lower DFS and OS rates after curative resection for stage III CRC. ENE status should be considered in both the pathologic report and CRC staging system.
