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

backgroundIn Saudi Arabia, there is no population-based colorectal cancer (CRC) screening, and more than two-thirds of patients are diagnosed with a late stage. We assessed the association between sex and distant metastasis CRC and hypothesize that females, younger age, non-married, and patients with colon cancer would present with metastatic tumors. PATIENTS AND

methodsThe retrospective cohort study used data from the Ministry of National Guard Cancer Registry. Logistic regression was used to assess the association between sex and metastatic CRC adjusting for patient covariates. In a sensitivity analysis, the association between sex and late-stage CRC was evaluated.

resultsA total of 1016 CRC patients met the eligibility criteria, with 37.59% of females and 30.26% of males diagnosed with metastatic CRC. After adjusting for marital status, grade, and morphology, females were 20% more likely than males to present with a metastatic tumor 1.20 (95% CI, 1.04-1.38).

conclusionAlthough the entire Saudi population would benefit from CRC screening, women may benefit the most from targeted screening.
