Impact of preoperative white blood cell count on outcomes in different stage colorectal cancer patients undergoing surgical resection: a single-institution retrospective cohort study.
Article in BMC cancer, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
purposeTo explore the association between preoperative WBC count and the long-term survival outcomes and clinical outcomes in different stage patients who underwent surgical resection for colorectal cancer (CRC). PATIENTS AND
methodsA cohort of 8121 Chinese patients who underwent surgical resection for CRC from January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2014 were enrolled as part of the retrospective cohort were retrospectively analyzed. Based on that the preoperative WBC optimal cut-off value was 7*10
resultsAfter IPTW, the clinical characters in the high preoperative WBC count group and the low preoperative WBC count group were balanced. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the 5-year OS rate were significantly lower in the high preoperative WBC count group overall, in stage II and IV. The 5-year DFS rate was significantly lower overall, in stage II and III in the high preoperative WBC count group. High preoperative WBC count was associated with poorer OS overall in stage II and stage IV.
conclusionsThis study suggests that preoperative WBC count is an independent risk factor for survival in patients undergoing colorectal surgery and may need to consider the stage of cancer when applied to predict long-term adverse outcome prognosis.
