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

This study aimed to assess the benefit of postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy in stage II-III colorectal signet ring cell carcinoma (SRCC). Qualified postoperative patients were extracted from Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database from 2004 until 2015. We collected 1675 patients in the research, and 936 patients were subjected to adjuvant chemotherapy group. The proportions of married status, male, rectal cancer, grade III/IV, AJCC stage III and radiotherapy were higher; While, the rates of white race, ≥ 65 years old and located in cecum-transverse colon were lower in patients of chemotherapy group compared to no chemotherapy group (all P < 0.05). K-M plots revealed significantly better OS of adjuvant chemotherapy group than no chemotherapy group (P < 0.001). Meanwhile, there was no significantly different in CSS between the two groups (P = 0.93). However, after adjusting for confounding factors by multivariable Cox regression analysis, receipt of postoperative chemotherapy was still associated with better CSS and OS (CSS: hazard ratio [HR] = 0.719, 95% CI 0.612-0.844, P < 0.001) ; (OS: HR = 0.618, 95% CI 0.537-0.713, P < 0.001). Patients with stage II/III colorectal SRCC could receive survival benefit from postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy.
