The 10-month mortality rate among older patients treated for digestive system cancer during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic: The CADIGCOVAGE multicentre cohort study.
Article in Journal of geriatric oncology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
introductionThe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has had a dramatic impact on cancer diagnosis and care pathways. Here, we assessed the mid-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on older adults with cancer before, during and after the lockdown period in 2020. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe performed a retrospective, observational, multicentre cohort study of prospectively collected electronic health records. All adults aged 65 or over and having been newly treated for a digestive system cancer in our institution between January 2018 until August 2020 were enrolled.
resultsData on 7,881 patients were analyzed. Although the overall 10-month mortality rate was similar in 2020 vs. 2018-2019, the mortality rate among for patients newly treated in the 2020 post-lockdown period was (after four months of follow-up) significantly higher. A subgroup analysis revealed higher mortality rates for (i) patients diagnosed in the emergency department during the pre-lockdown period, (ii) patients with small intestine cancer newly treated during the post-lockdown period, and (iii) patients having undergone surgery with curative intent during the post-lockdown period. However, when considering individuals newly treated during the lockdown period, we observed lower mortality rates for (i) patients aged 80 and over, (ii) patients with a biliary or pancreatic cancer, and (iii) patients diagnosed in the emergency department. DISCUSSION: There was no overall increase in mortality among patients newly treated in 2020 vs. 2018-2019. Longer follow-up is needed to assess the consequences of the pandemic. A subgroup analysis revealed significant intergroup differences in mortality.
