Marked paper: Type 2 diabetes mellitus indicates increased postoperative complications and poor prognosis in colorectal cancer patients receiving curative surgery.

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
Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) on the short-term outcomes and long-term survival of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) who underwent curative resection. Methods: This study retrospectively included 136 patients (T2DM group) with resectable CRC and T2DM from Jan 2013 to Dec 2017. Propensity score-matched control group consisting of 136 patients (non-T2DM group) were selected from 1143 CRC patients without T2DM. The short-term outcomes and prognosis were compared between the T2DM and non-T2DM group. Results: A total of 272 patients (136 patients for each group) were included in this study. Patients in T2DM group had higher body mass index (BMI), higher proportion of hypertension and cerebrovascular diseases (P<0.05). T2DM group had more overall complications (P=0.001), more major complications (P=0.003) and higher risk of reoperation (P=0.007) when compared with non-T2DM patients. T2DM patients had longer hospitalization time than non-T2DM (20.7 ± 10.2 Conclusions: T2DM increases overall complications and major complications, and prolongs the hospitalization time after CRC surgery. In addition, T2DM indicates the poor prognosis of CRC patients. A prospective study with large sample size is required to confirm our findings.
