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 influences the short- and long-term outcomes of various medical conditions including malignancy. Ishii's screening test estimates the probability of sarcopenia based on a score calculated by three simple variables: age, grip strength, and calf circumference. We investigated the clinical significance of Ishii's score for patients with non-metastatic obstructive colorectal cancer (OCRC) who underwent curative surgery after intraluminal decompression.

methodsIshii's score was calculated in 79 patients with OCRC. Muscle volume loss and decreased muscle quality were evaluated by computed tomography (CT) images as skeletal muscle index (SMI) and intramuscular adipose tissue content (IMAC), respectively.

resultsThere were 46 men and 33 women, with a median age of 70 years old. The cutoff value for Ishii's score was 155.1 and 15 patients were in the high-score group. The high-score group was significantly associated with worse time to recurrence (TTR) and overall survival (OS), and a high Ishii's score was an independent negative prognostic factor for TTR (hazard ratio = 2.93, P = 0.015). A high Ishii's score was significantly associated with a low SMI value but not with the IMAC value.

conclusionA high Ishii's score was independently associated with poorer TTR in patients with non-metastatic OCRC.
