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

backgroundsClinicopathologic factors relating to developing metachronous colorectal cancer (CRC) have been reported. However, the effects of different diagnostic intervals on these risk factors required further analysis. PATIENTS AND

methodsThis retrospective study comprised 14,481 patients diagnosed from January 1995 to December 2012. Metachronous CRC was defined as the occurrence of a second colorectal cancer at least 1 year post-operatively.

resultsA total of 153 (1.06%) patients developed metachronous CRCs during the follow-up. Significantly higher rates of developing metachronous cancer occurred in male patients (1.2 vs 0.9%), patients with synchronous CRC (2.0 vs 1.0%), and patients with a positive family history of CRC (1.4 vs 0.9%). Pertaining to diagnostic intervals related to clinicopathological features, more severe staging was significant in the diagnostic interval between 2 and 3 years (35 vs 7.7%, 20.6%, 17.5%, P = .01) compared with other intervals. Male patients were more frequently detected to have CRC within 3 years compared with females (53.1 vs 29.1%, P = .005). For a diagnostic interval ≧ 5 years, a significantly higher rate of metachronous CRC located at the right colon was observed than that located at the left colon (36.6 vs 19.7%, p = 0.03).

conclusionsWe evinced that a diagnostic interval between 2 and 3 years was a key time for metachronous CRC diagnosis with worse staging distribution. Based on current findings, we recommend the stratification of metachronous CRCs into diagnostic intervals of 1-2, 2-3, and ≧ 3 years, as they exhibit significantly different characteristics.
