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

The prognostic role of marital status on colorectal signet ring cell carcinoma (SRCC) has not been studied. In this study, the correlation of marital status with prognosis of colorectal SRCC was analyzed. Eligible subjects were extracted from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) dataset from 2004 to 2015, followed by comparison of cancer-specific survival (CSS) and overall survival (OS) between married and unmarried group. 3152 patients were identified including 1777 married patients (56.38%). Married populations tended to be more patients aged < 65, male, receiving chemotherapy, and less black race and large tumor size compared to unmarried group (all P < 0.05).Moreover, 5-year CSS (30.04% vs. 28.19%, P = 0.0013) and OS rates (26.68% vs. 22.94%, P < 0.0001) were superior in married population. Multivariate analysis revealed that marital status was an independent favorable prognostic indicator, and married population had better CSS (HR: 0.898; 95% CI: 0.822-0.980; P = 0.016) and OS (HR: 0.898; 95%CI: 0.827-0.975; P = 0.011).In addition, CSS as well as OS were superior in married populations than unmarried ones in most subgroups. Marital status was an independent prognostic factor for survival in patients with colorectal SRCC. Additionally, married patients obtained better survival advantages.
