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

purposeSarcopenia is a prognostic factor for poor outcomes in colorectal cancer, but data are scarce in colorectal surgery for benign conditions where patients could benefit from a deferral of surgery to enter a prehabilitation programme. We assessed the incidence of sarcopenia and complications in patients with benign colorectal disease.

methodsPatients who underwent elective non-malignant colorectal surgery during 2018-2022 were retrospectively identified. The cross-sectional psoas area was calculated using computed tomography (CT) imaging mid-3

resultsOf 188 patients identified, 39 (20.7%) were sarcopenic. Patients diagnosed with sarcopenia were older (63 vs. 58 years, p = 0.047) and had a reduced BMI (24.7 vs. 27.38 kg/m

conclusionSarcopenia is prevalent in one-fifth of patients undergoing benign colorectal surgery. Taking advantage of the longer preoperative waiting periods, sarcopenia could be explored as a target for prehabilitation programmes to improve outcomes.
