Overweight but not obesity is associated with decreased survival in rectal cancer.
Article in Contemporary oncology (Poznan, Poland), 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
aim of the studyTo analyse the influence of overweight and obesity in disease-specific survival (DSS) in rectal cancers at stages I-III in a population with high prevalence of overweight/obesity. MATERIAL AND
methodsThe population (
resultsThe median age was 58 years (interquartile range [IQR] 50-65) and the mean BMI was 26.03 ±4.06 kg/m
conclusionsPatients with stage I-III rectal cancer in the overweight group showed a lower DSS compared to groups with normal weight and with obesity, with the last two being similar.
