Perforated colorectal cancers: clinical outcomes of 18 patients who underwent emergency surgery.

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
introductionAlthough colon cancer perforations are rare among acute abdominal syndromes, it is a clinical picture with high mortality that requires urgent treatment.
aimIn this study, the clinical results of patients who were operated in emergency conditions due to colorectal cancer perforation were evaluated. MATERIAL AND
methodsThe data of 18 patients treated for colorectal cancer perforation in our clinic between February 2014 and February 2017 were retrospectively reviewed. The following data were evaluated: demographic features of the patients, location of the tumour, metastasis, stage of the tumour, number of lymph nodes dissected, survival, type, and prognosis of the surgery.
resultsEight (44%) of 18 patients with perforated colon cancers were female and 10 (56%) were male. The mean age was 65.2 (31-104) years. Four of the patients had liver metastasis only, and 5 had multiple metastases. All cases had sudden abdominal pain and acute abdominal clinical findings. Fourteen of the patients underwent full resection, and 4 of them underwent partial resection and trephine stoma (colostomy). Perioperative mortality was not observed. The long-term mortality rate in our study was 77.7% (
conclusionsColorectal cancer perforation seen in advanced ages is one of the causes of acute abdominal syndrome, which can be fatal. The general condition of the patient and the size and localization of the perforation should be taken into consideration in the choice of treatment. Curative surgery can also be performed in perforated colorectal cancers. However, partial resection and trephine colostomy should be performed in patients with multiple metastases and poor general condition.
