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

introductionThe aim of the study was to assess the clinico-pathological features and prognosis of mucinous adenocarcinoma (MAC) and signet-ring cell carcinoma (SRC) in young colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. MATERIAL AND

methodsWe retrospectively evaluated the patient records of young patients with MAC and SRC (aged ≤ 40 years) treated at the Cancer Hospital of China Medical University from January 2006 to December 2013. Kaplan-Meier analysis and log-rank testing were performed to estimate overall survival (OS). Subsequently a Cox proportional hazard model was used to calculate hazard ratios for the risk of death.

resultsA total of 90 young CRC patients (MAC = 69 and SRC = 21) were included in the analysis during the study period. The overall cumulative 5-year OS rate was 56.6 ±6%. Estimated 5-year OS was 58.1 ±7.7% for MAC and 31.3 ±12.9% for SRC (

conclusionsA greater proportion of young patients with MAC and SRC present with advanced disease. Young patients with SRC have poorer prognosis than MAC. Preoperative CEA levels and cycles of adjuvant CT are two independent predictors of overall survival for young CRC patients with MAC and SRC.
