Impact of co-morbidities on health-related quality of life 10 years after surgical treatment of oesophageal cancer.
Article in BJS open, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundOesophagectomy for cancer is associated with long-term decreased health-related quality of life (HRQoL). The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of co-morbidities on HRQoL among survivors of oesophageal or gastro-oesophageal junctional cancers after 10 years or more.
methodsThe study included a prospectively collected, population-based cohort, comprising all patients who had surgery for oesophageal or gastro-oesophageal junctional cancer in Sweden in 2001-2005 with follow-up until 31 December 2016. All data regarding patient and tumour characteristics, treatment details and HRQoL were collected using a prospectively created database. Multivariable ANCOVA regression models, adjusting for age, sex, tumour histology, stage and surgical technique, were used to calculate adjusted mean scores with 95 per cent confidence intervals for all HRQoL outcomes.
resultsA total of 92 survivors (88·5 per cent) responded to the questionnaires. Patients were stratified in two groups according to whether they reported a low or high impact of co-morbidities on general health. Patients in the high-impact group had clinically significantly decreased HRQoL and an increased level of symptoms, but differences between these two groups were not statistically significant.
conclusionCo-morbidities with high impact on general health still contribute to impaired HRQoL 10 years after oesophagectomy for cancer.
