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

purposeTo quantify physical disability and psychological distress in people with and without colorectal cancer (CRC).

methodsQuestionnaire data (2006-2009) from 267,153 Australian general population members aged ≥ 45 years participating in the 45 and Up Study (n = 213,231 following exclusions) were linked to cancer registry and hospital admission data, to ascertain CRC status. Modified Poisson regression estimated adjusted prevalence ratios (PRs) for physical disability and psychological distress in participants with CRC versus those without.

resultsCompared with participants without CRC (n = 210,836), CRC survivors (n = 2395) had significantly higher physical disability prevalence (11.9% versus 19.5%, respectively), PR = 1.11 (95% CI = 1.03-1.20); and a similar prevalence of distress (23.1% versus 20.2%), PR = 1.03 (0.94-1.20). Adverse outcomes were associated with certain clinical characteristics. Compared with participants without CRC, CRC survivors diagnosed 5-< 10 and ≥ 10 years, with regional spread, and without recent cancer treatment had broadly similar outcomes; survivors with metastatic CRC and recent treatment had 30-60% higher prevalence of disability and distress. Compared with participants with neither CRC nor disability, PRs for distress were 4.71 (4.22-5.26) for those with disability and CRC; and 4.22 (4.13-4.31) for those with disability without CRC.

conclusionsPhysical disability is elevated in CRC survivors. Psychological distress is elevated 4- to 5-fold with disability, regardless of CRC diagnosis, with lesser increases around diagnosis and treatment. IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS: CRC survivors with less advanced disease and who have not been recently diagnosed or treated have physical disability and psychological distress comparable to the general population. Survivors with disability are at particularly high risk of psychological distress.
