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

BACKGROUND/

aimThe prognosis of colorectal cancer is reported to differ depending on the tumor site, and clinical differences depending on the site of occurrence have gained attention. The aim was to compare nutrition index and inflammatory markers according to the site of colon cancer. PATIENTS AND

methodsWe retrospectively analyzed 272 cases of stage I-III colon cancer (55% males, 45% females). The clinical characteristics, nutrition index and inflammatory markers were compared between patients with right colon cancer (RCC, n=119) and those with left colon cancer (LCC, n=153), and the relapse-free survival was then compared.

resultsRCC was associated with older age (p=0.03), female gender (p=0.003), higher T stage (p=0.01), elevated platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR) (p=0.009), and elevated CONUT score (p=0.028). The prognostic values differed between RCC and LCC (RCC: CONUT score, p=0.04, LCC: PLR, p=0.02).

conclusionRCC was associated with an elevated CONUT score and PLR. In RCC, the CONUT score was an independent recurrence factor, and in LCC, the PLR was an independent recurrence factor.
