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

backgroundAlthough the influence of sex on different cancer survival has been investigated, the predictive and prognostic value of sex in localized colorectal cancer (CRC) still remain controversial.

methodsSurvival was evaluated in patients who diagnosed with localized CRC in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database between 2004 and 2016. Overall survival (OS) outcomes were estimated with the Kaplan-Meier method, and multivariable Cox regression was used to calculate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).

resultsWe obtained a dataset that included 70,836 males and 69,705 females of localized CRC patients. Compared with males, females more often had age ≥75 years (55.1%

conclusionsIn our study, sex was shown to be a prognostic factor in localized-CRC. In particular, females may benefit more from postoperative chemotherapy than males with T3N0M0 (Stage II) rectal cancer.
