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

objectives

methodsThis retrospective single-center study recruited 179 patients who underwent primary colorectal cancer resection with curative intent between 2015 and 2017. The baseline characteristics and survival were analyzed according to the number of teeth observed in dental panoramic radiographs taken before surgical resection as a part of the perioperative surveillance for oral function and hygiene.

resultsThe median number of teeth was 20 (interquartile range: 6-25), including 28 patients with no teeth. Patients with 20 or more teeth had better overall survival (

conclusionsA low number of teeth, which can be easily and noninvasively assessed, has been a poor prognostic factor for overall survival in colorectal cancer patients who underwent surgery with curative intent.
