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

backgroundThe interventions for hemorrhoid increase access to rectal cancer screening and thus might reduce cancer death. We aimed to examine the impact of hemorrhoid on survival outcomes in rectal cancer.

methodsWe identified 510 patients with stage I to III rectal cancer from a prospectively collected database. Patients were divided into hemorrhoid and non-hemorrhoid group. The primary endpoints were disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS).

resultsHemorrhoid group had significantly more stage I-II diseases in comparison to nonhemorrhoid group (71.1% vs. 55.9%,

conclusionsThere may exist a screening effect and survival benefit from hemorrhoid in rectal cancer, which supports the significance of rectal cancer screening in lowering its mortality.
