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

aimevaluating the impact of screening programmes on colorectal cancer (CRC) in Italy.

methodswe studied 1292 patients with colorectal cancer. Data were collected from January 2004 through December 2015 in Parma University Hospital. We compared clinophatological features to evaluate the real impact of screening programmes on detecting early stage colorectal cancers in target population.

resultsscreening programmes with fecal occult blood test (FOBT) and colonoscopy covered only patients from 50 to 69. In our study we reported that the 52,3% of patients with CRC were over 70 and out of screen time, while only 47,7% were under 70. Early detection seems to be related to early stage of CRC and to an improved overall survival.

conclusionThe importance of early detection in colorectal cancers represents the most important outcome for OS. The risk of colorectal cancer is increased in elderly. Actual screening programmes cover less than 50% of population with colorectal cancer. Screening should be considered for patients over 70, due to the high number of new diagnosis in symptomatic disease and worst prognosis, in accordance with advanced cancer stage and comorbidities in elderly.
