Prognostic factors in pulmonary metastases resection from colorectal cancer: impact of right-sided colon cancer and early recurrence.

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
objectiveThis retrospective cohort study aimed to explore the surgical outcomes and prognostic factors of resection of pulmonary metastases (PM) from colorectal cancer (CRC).
methodsOverall, 60 patients who underwent resection of PM from CRC between 2015 and 2021 at two institutions were reviewed. The primary outcome were overall survival (OS) and early recurrence after PM resection. The association between OS and right-sided colon cancer (RCC) was investigated. Early recurrence after PM resection was defined as recurrence within one year.
resultsThe 5-year OS after CRC resection was 83.8% (95% confidence interval [CI] 67.5-92.4) and after PM resection was 69.4% (95% CI 47.5-83.6). In total, 25 patients had recurrence after PM resection (16 within 1 year and 9 after 1 year). In multivariable analysis for OS, RCC (hazard ratio [HR] 4.370, 95% CI 1.020-18.73; p = 0.047) and early recurrence after resection of PM (HR 17.23, 95% CI 2.685-110.6; p = 0.003) were risk factors for poor OS. In multivariable analysis for early recurrence after PM resection, higher value of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) (> 5.0 mg/dL) before PM resection was a risk factor for early recurrence (HR 3.275, 95% CI 1.092-9.821; p = 0.034).
conclusionThe RCC and early recurrence after PM resection were poor prognosis factors of OS. Higher value of CEA before PM resection was an independent risk factor for early recurrence after resection of PM. Comparitive study between surgery and nonsurgery is necessary in patients with higher CEA values.
