Deciding the operation type according to mismatch repair status among hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer patients: should a tailored approach be applied, or does one size fit all?
Article in Hereditary cancer in clinical practice, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundAlthough extended colectomy (EC) was recommended for HNPCC patients, previous studies did not show significantly improved overall survival. Immunohistochemical (IHC) stain of mismatch repair (MMR) gene protein expression is now a feasible and reliable test clinically. Therefore, we tried to investigate whether we could use MMR IHC stain to select operation types in HNPCC patients. PATIENTS AND
methodsBetween 1995 and 2013, 186 HNPCC patients were collected. Status of MMR protein expression, perioperative clinic-pathological variables and post-operative follow up status were analyzed by multivariate analyses.
resultsSixty-five percent (121 of 186) patients of these HNPCC patients demonstrated loss of at least one MMR protein. There were several significant differences existing between deficient MMR (dMMR) and proficient MMR (pMMR) subgroups in terms of clinic-pathological characteristics. With the average follow-up duration of 93.9 months, we observed significantly high risk of developing metachronous CRC between SC and EC subgroups (crude rate 8.5% vs. 0%, p = 0.035). However, no significant difference was observed among the presence of extra-colonic tumors (12.4% vs. 5.8%, p = 0.284). The positive and negative prediction rate of metachronous CRC in dMMR subgroup was 12.8 and 87.2% while 1.9 and 98.1% in the pMMR subgroup. Survival outcomes were significantly affected by MMR status and resection types by multivariate analysis. Significantly better OS in dMMR subgroup (HR = 0.479, 95% CI: 0.257-0.894, p = 0.021) comparing with pMMR subgroup was observed. However, significant improved DFS (HR = 0.367, 95% CI: 0.172-.0787, p = 0.010) but not significant for OS (HR = 0.510, 95% CI: 0.219-1.150, p = 0.103) for EC subgroup compared with SC subgroup. Differences existing among different subgroups by combing extent of resection and MMR status. In dMMR subgroup, SC, compared with EC, demonstrated significantly worse DFS by multivariate analyses (HR = 3.526, 95% CI: 1.346-9.236, p = 0.010) but not for OS (HR = 2.387, 95% CI: 0.788-7.229, p = 0.124), however, no significantly differences of OS and DFS in pMMR subgroup between SC and EC were found.
conclusionsSignificantly better overall survival and higher rate of metachronous CRC exist in dMMR subgroup of HNPCC patients comparing with pMMR subgroup. Extended colectomy significantly improved DFS and was thus recommended for dMMR subgroup but not pMMR subgroup of HNPCC patients.
