Risk Factors for Synchronous Peritoneal Metastases in Colorectal Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Synthesis in Frontiers in oncology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Background: Early detection of synchronous colorectal peritoneal metastases (CPMs) is difficult due to the absence of typical symptoms and the low accuracy of imaging examinations. Increasing the knowledge of the risk factors for synchronous CPM may be essential for early diagnosis and improving their management. This study aimed to identify the risk factors for synchronous CPM. Method: The study was registered at PROSPERO (CRD42020198548). The PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Library databases were searched for studies comparing the clinicopathological and molecular features between patients with or without synchronous CPM. The pooled data were assessed by a random-effects model. Results: Twenty-five studies were included. A synchronous CPM was positively associated with female sex (OR 1.299; 1.118 to 1.509; P = 0.001), PROK1/PROKR2-positivity (OR 2.244; 1.031 to 4.884; P = 0.042), right-sided colon cancer (OR 2.468; 2.050 to 2.970; P < 0.001), poorly differentiated grade (OR 2.560; 1.537 to 4.265; P < 0.001), BRAF mutation (OR 2.586; 1.674 to 3.994; P < 0.001), mucinous adenocarcinoma (OR 3.565; 2.095 to 6.064; P < 0.001), signet-ring cell carcinoma (OR 4.480; 1.836 to 10.933; P = 0.001), N1-2 (OR 5.665; 3.628 to 8.848; P < 0.001), T4 (OR 12.331; 7.734 to 19.660; P < 0.001) and elevated serum CA19-9 (OR 12.868; 5.196 to 31.867; P < 0.001). Conclusions: These evidence-based risk factors are indicators that could predict the presence of synchronous CPMs and can improve their management.
