Analysis of the survival and clinical characteristics of colorectal cancer patients with mental disorders.
Article in Annals of gastroenterological surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
aimMany studies have shown that patients with mental disorders are less likely than non-psychiatric patients to be diagnosed with or treated for various types of cancers because of their low awareness and understanding of the disease as well as reduced ability to cooperate with medical staff. We analyzed the clinical features of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) and preexisting mental illness.
methodsAll patients underwent primary tumor resection for CRC. We reviewed the records of 68 patients who were diagnosed with mental disorders. The patients' clinicopathological information was compared with that of a control group of 893 CRC patients.
resultsThere was no significant difference in the overall disease stage at the time of surgery between the groups. However, disease-free survival, cancer-specific survival, and overall survival were significantly worse in the mental disorder group than in the control group (
conclusionsAdvanced CRC patients with mental disorders are less likely to receive postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy or treatment for recurrent cancer than CRC patients without mental disorders; therefore, they experience worse outcomes. Collaboration across multiple departments is necessary for managing CRC patients with mental disorders.
