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

objectiveThe aim of our study was to analyze the factors affecting lymph node metastasis (LNM) and the prognosis of colorectal neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). PATIENTS AND

methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted to collect the clinical data of 135 patients with colorectal NETs from January 2000 to December 2018, including clinical manifestations, pathological results, treatment methods, etc. Follow-up was regularly performed to observe the recurrence and metastasis of tumors and to identify the clinical and pathological features of colorectal NETs, risk factors for LNM and survival outcomes.

resultsAmong 135 patients, there were 57 (42.2) patients with LNM, and the independent risk factors for LNM in the multivariable analyses were tumor diameter ≥2 cm (

conclusionRectal NETs have a better prognosis than colonic neuroendocrine tumors. Tumor diameter and tumor grade are independent risk factors for LNM in colorectal neuroendocrine tumors. Age, tumor location, lymph node status and a positive level of the neuroendocrine marker CgA are independent risk factors that affect the prognosis of colorectal NETs.
