Long-Term Outcomes of Radical Surgery for Transverse Colon Cancer Staged from I to IIIC.

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.
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
backgroundNo study has reported the risk factors associated with the prognosis of patients with transverse colon cancer. Therefore, we aimed to demonstrate the long-term outcomes of transverse colon cancer patients undergoing radical surgery and explore the prognostic factors. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe clinical data of a total of 366 patients with transverse colon cancer staged from I to IIIC undergoing radical surgery from February 1992 to May 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. Clinicopathological features were recorded, and univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to evaluate the association between the factors and overall survival (OS) as well as disease-free survival (DFS). Kaplan-Meier curves were generated to assess the association between TNM stage and OS and DFS, respectively.
resultsThe median follow-up time was 62 months, and the 5-year OS and DFS rates were 87.5% and 86.5%, respectively. In addition, a significant difference was also found in the OS and DFS curves according to TNM stage. The N classification, vascular invasion, differentiation, preoperative CA199, preoperative CA125 and preoperative AFP were significantly associated with OS according to univariate analysis, while N classification and differentiation were independent prognostic factors for OS according to multivariate analysis (both
conclusionN classification was an independent factor for both OS and DFS, while differentiation and CA199 were independent prognostic factors only for OS and DFS, respectively.
