Local Treatment of Colorectal Liver Metastases in the Presence of Extrahepatic Disease: Survival Outcomes from the Amsterdam Colorectal Liver Met Registry (AmCORE).
Article in Cancers, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundThe simultaneous presence of colorectal liver metastases (CRLMs) and extrahepatic metastases in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) can be considered a relative contraindication for local treatment with curative intent. This study aims to assess the survival outcomes of patients with CRLMs and extrahepatic metastases after comprehensive local treatment of all metastatic sites.
methodsPatients with CRLMs who received local treatment of all metastatic sites were extracted from the prospective AmCORE registry database and subdivided into two groups: CRLM only vs. CRLM and extrahepatic metastasis. To address potential confounders, multivariate analysis was performed. The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS).
resultsIn total, 881 patients with CRLM only and 60 with CRLM and extrahepatic disease were included, and the median OS was 55.7 months vs. 42.7 months, respectively. Though OS was significantly lower in patients with concomitant extrahepatic metastases (HR 1.477; 95% CI 1.029-2.121;
conclusionsIn this comparative series, OS was inferior for patients with multi-organ metastatic CRC versus patients with CRLMs alone. Nonetheless, the long-term survival curve plateau seemed to justify local treatment in a subset of patients with multi-organ metastatic CRC, especially for patients with CRLMs and pulmonary or lymph node metastases.
