Should we resect colorectal cancer in patients over the age of 85?
Article in World journal of gastrointestinal oncology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
backgroundThe prevalence of colorectal cancer in the elderly is rising, with increasing numbers of older patients undergoing surgery. However, there is a paucity of information on the surgical outcomes and operative techniques used in this population.
aimTo evaluate the post-operative outcomes for patients ≥ 85 years old following colorectal cancer resection as well as evaluating the outcomes of laparoscopic resection of colorectal cancer in patients over 85.
methodsPatients who underwent colorectal cancer resection at our institution between January 2010 and December 2018 were included. The study was divided into two parts. For part one, patients were divided into two groups based on age: Those age ≥ 85 years old (
resultsThe median length of stay between patients over 85 and those aged 75-85 was eight days, with no statistically significant difference between the groups (
conclusionNo significant short term surgical differences were identified in patients ≥ 85 years old when compared to those 75-85 years old. There is no difference in short term surgical outcomes between laparoscopic or open colorectal resections in patients over 85.
