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
backgroundThe aim of the current study was to investigate survival after resection of colorectal liver metastases (CLM) in octogenarians. The survival of octogenarian patients was compared to the survival of the national population of octogenarians and the survival of sexagenarians, the latter representing the average-age patient undergoing resection of CLM.
methodsOctogenarian and sexagenarian were defined as person 80-89 and 60-69 years of age, respectively. Survival analyses of patients who underwent resection of CLM between 2002 and 2014 were performed. Data from Statistics Norway were used to estimate the survival of the age-matched national population of octogenarians (ageM-Octo) and the age-matched national population of sexagenarians (ageM-Sexa).
resultsDuring the study period, 59 octogenarians underwent resection of CLM. The majority of patients underwent a minor liver resection (n=50). In octogenarians, the 5-year survival was 32.5% and 66.3% [difference, 33.8 percentage points (pp)] in patients and ageM-Octo, respectively. The 10-year survival was 14.1% and 31.2% (difference, 17.1 pp) in patients and ageM-Octo, respectively. In sexagenarians, the 5-year survival was 50.9% and 96.2% (difference, 45.3 pp) in patients and ageM-Sexa, respectively. The 10-year survival was 35.7% and 90.3% (difference, 54.6 pp) in patients and ageM-Sexa, respectively. The 5-year cancer-specific survival and 5-year recurrence-free survival (RFS) after resection of CLM in octogenarians were 43.1% and 32.9%, respectively.
conclusionsAfter resection of CLM, the survival was poorer in octogenarians than in sexagenarians. However, the difference between the survival curves of patients and their age-matched population was smaller in octogenarians. In practice, this finding may indicate a greater benefit of resection in the elderly than the survival rates alone would suggest.
