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

backgroundStudies evaluating the characteristics of dual primary gastric and colorectal cancer (CRC) (DPGCC) are limited.

aimTo analyze the clinicopathologic characteristics and prognosis of synchronous and metachronous cancers in patients with DPGCC.

methodsFrom October 2010 to August 2021, patients with DPGCC were retrospectively reviewed. The patients with DPGCC were divided into two groups (synchronous and metachronous). We compared the overall survival (OS) between the groups using Kaplan-Meier survival methods. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed using Cox's proportional hazards model to identify the independent prognostic factors for OS.

resultsOf the 76 patients with DPGCC, 46 and 30 had synchronous and metachronous cancers, respectively. The proportion of unresectable CRC in patients with synchronous cancers was higher than that in patients with metachronous cancers (28.3%

conclusionRegular surveillance for metachronous cancer is necessary during postoperative follow-up. Surgical resection is the mainstay of therapy to improve the prognosis of DPGCC. The prognosis appears to be influenced by the stage of GC rather than the stage of CRC. Patients with synchronous cancer have a worse prognosis, and its treatment strategy is worth further exploration.
