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
purposeThis study aimed to explore the prognostic significance of clinicopathological characteristics in early-onset versus late-onset colorectal liver metastases (CRLM).
methodsThe data of CRLM patients who underwent hepatectomy from September 2010 to September 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the age of primary cancer diagnosis, patients were divided into early-onset CRLM (EOCRLM) and late-onset CRLM (LOCRLM) groups. Clinicopathological parameters were compared between the two groups. Cox regression model and Kaplan-Meier method were used to analyze the effect of clinicopathological parameters on overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS).
resultsIn total, 431 CRLM patients were identified, 130 with EOCRLM and 301 with LOCRLM. Compared with LOCRLM patients, EOCRLM patients had lower American Society of Anesthesia (ASA) grade and longer operation time (204 vs. 179 min). More aggressive features were presented in EOCRLM patients including synchronous liver metastases (76.9% vs. 61.1%) and bilobar involvement (43.8% vs. 33.2%). No significant difference in OS or RFS was found between the two groups. Multivariate analysis of EOCRLM group showed that preoperative CA19-9 level and RAS/BRAF status were predictive of OS, while bilobar involvement and preoperative CEA level were associated with RFS. In LOCRLM group, the number of CRLM, preoperative CA19-9 level, and BRAF status were associated with OS, while the number of CRLM was associated with RFS.
conclusionsThe preoperative CA19-9 level, RAS/BRAF status, bilobar involvement, and preoperative CEA level were predictive of EOCRLM patient prognosis, while the number of CRLM, preoperative CA19-9 level, and BRAF status were predictive of LOCRLM patient prognosis.
