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

purposeThe aim of this study was to investigate the predictive relevance of tumor sidedness on surgical resection after recurrence by evaluating the treatment outcomes after primary resection and recurrence in patients with localized colon cancer (CC).

methodsA total of 735 consecutive patients who underwent curative resection for Stage I-III CC from 1997 to 2013 were categorized as having either right- or left-sided CC, and survival after primary surgery and after recurrence were analyzed.

resultsA total of 104 patients (14.1%) developed recurrence, 94 of which were in a single organ, and 59 patients underwent curative resection. For recurrence from both sides of the colon, a significantly better 5-year overall survival (OS) was experienced by patients who underwent curative resection compared to those who received palliative treatment (right: 42.2% vs not reached, respectively; P < 0.001; left: 71 vs 15.9%, respectively; P < 0.001). Meanwhile, a still worse OS was observed in patients with curative resection for recurrent right-sided CC compared to those with resection for recurrent left-sided CC (5-year: 42.2 vs 71%; P = 0.03).

conclusionSurgical resection undoubtedly improved survival after recurrence, however, patients with surgical resection for recurrent right-sided CC tended to have a worse prognosis.
