Expectations of outcomes in patients with colorectal cancer.
Review in BJS open, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundUnderstanding patients' expectations of their treatment is critical to ensure appropriate treatment decisions, and to explore how expectations influence coping, quality of life and well-being. This study aimed to examine these issues related to treatment in patients with colorectal cancer.
methodsA literature search from January 1946 to September 2016 was performed to identify available data regarding patients' expectations of outcomes following colorectal cancer treatment. A narrative synthesis of the evidence was planned.
resultsOf 4337 items initially identified, 20 articles were included in the review. In studies presenting data on overall and short-term survival, patients considerably overestimated prognosis. Patients also had unrealistic expectations of the negative aspects of chemotherapy and stomas. There was marked discordance between patients' and clinicians' expectations regarding chemotherapy, end-of-life care, bowel function and psychosocial outcomes. Level of education was the most consistent factor influencing the accuracy of patients' expectations.
conclusionPatients with colorectal cancer frequently have unrealistic expectations of treatment. Marked disparities exist between patients' and clinicians' expectations of outcomes.
