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

aimThis study is aimed at investigating predictive and prognostic factors of synchronous colorectal lung-limited metastasis (SCLLM) based on The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database.

methodsA multivariate logistic regression model was constructed to identify independent predictors of SCLLM. A multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to distinguish independent prognostic factors.

resultsThis study enrolled 168,007 colorectal cancer (CRC) patients without metastatic diseases and 1,298 cases with SCLLM. Eight features, involving race, tumor location, pathological grade, histological type, T stage, N stage, and tumor size as well as CEA, could be used as the independent predictors. As the nomogram shown, the T4 stage contributed the most to SCLLM, followed by the N2 stage, elevated CEA, and rectal cancer. A multivariate regression analysis discriminated 9 independent prognostic factors, including age, race, marital status, pathological grade, T stage, colectomy/proctectomy, chemotherapy, CEA, and TD. The prognostic nomogram illustrated that nonresection/NOS played as the poorest prognostic factor, followed by nonchemotherapy, ≥75-year old and T4 stage. The cumulative survival curves revealed the influence of each prognostic factor on survival after controlling the other variables.

conclusionsThis study identified independent predictors and prognostic factors for SCLLM based on a large database of the United States. The predictors and prognostic factors can provide supporting evidence for the prevention and treatment of SCLLM.
