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

The incidence and mortality from colorectal cancer in younger adults (younger than 55 years) is increasing. We reviewed the complete database of a gene-expression test, Oncotype DX Colon Recurrence Score test, to determine age-related differences in recurrence score (RS) and single-gene results (7 cancer-related of the 12-gene assay). We included 20 478 stage II and III A and B colon cancer patients submitted to Genomic Health. RS results were grouped by low-, intermediate-, and high-risk groups. Single-gene scores were described using median and interquartile range. Of all patients 72.5% and 72.6% of those younger than 40 years had low-risk RS. Comparing older with younger patients, RS or single-gene expression did not differ by age group or stage. Young-onset colon cancer does not differ by expression of the RS component genes. Most patients with stage II and III colon cancer have low-risk disease as measured by the 12-gene assay, regardless of age.
