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

backgroundHeterogeneity with respect to recurrence and survival in high-risk stage II colon cancer patients still exists, and further classification is urgently required. This study aimed to ascertain the prognostic value of DNA ploidy, stroma-tumour fraction and nucleotyping in the prognosis of high-risk stage II colon cancer.

methodsA total of 188 high-risk stage II colon cancer patients received radical surgery in Peking University Cancer Hospital, from 2009 to 2015. Status of mismatch repair proteins in tumours was analysed using immunohistochemistry. DNA ploidy, stroma-tumour fraction and nucleotyping were estimated by automated digital imaging systems.

resultsNucleotyping and DNA ploidy were significant prognostic factors, while stroma-tumour fraction were not significantly prognostic in the univariate analysis. In the multivariable model, the dominant contributory factor of disease-free survival was chromatin heterogeneous vs. chromatin homogeneous [HR 3.309 (95% CI: 1.668-6.564), P = 0.001].

conclusionsOur study indicates that nucleotyping is an independent prognostic factor in high-risk stage II colon cancer. Therefore, it may help subdivide patients into different subgroups and give them different strategies for follow-up and treatment in the future.
