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

backgroundThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the characteristics and prognosis of de novo CRC patients who underwent liver or kidney transplantation.

methodsWe retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 66 de novo CRC patients selected from 8,734 liver transplant (LT) or kidney transplant (KT) recipients. We analyzed characteristics and survival outcomes of de novo CRC patients and sporadic CRC patients who underwent radical surgery with stage I-III in Asan Medical Center between 2005 and 2016. Survival outcomes were analyzed via the 1:4 matching method.

resultsThe standard incidence ratio (SIR) of de novo CRC in KT recipients is 1.67 in men and 2.54 in women. That in LT recipients is 3.10 in men and 2.25 in women. Compared with sporadic CRC patients, de novo CRC patients had more colon cancer than rectal cancer (p=0.041). In 9 patients (13.6%), CRC was diagnosed within one year after transplantation, 21 patients (31.8%) were diagnosed between 1-5 years, and the remaining 36 patients (54.6%) were diagnosed thereafter. There were no significant differences in recurrence-free survival and overall survival between the two groups (p=0.211 and p=0.324, respectively).

conclusionsThe risk of developing de novo CRC in transplant recipients was higher than in the general population. The survival outcome of de novo CRC was no different compared with the sporadic CRC. Therefore, regular surveillance is essential for timely diagnosis and treatment for transplantation patients. A large prospective study for an intense CRC surveillance program in transplantation patients is needed.
