Previous Solid Organ Transplantation Influences Both Cancer Treatment and Survival Among Colorectal Cancer Patients.

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
Previous solid organ transplantation has been associated with worse survival among colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. This study investigates the contribution of CRC characteristics and treatment-related factors to the differential survival. Using the Swedish register-linkage CRCBaSe, all patients with solid organ transplantation before CRC diagnosis were identified and matched with non-transplanted CRC patients. Associations between transplantation history and clinical CRC factors and survival were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier estimator and logistic, multinomial, and Cox regression, respectively. Ninety-eight transplanted and 474 non-transplanted CRC patients were followed for 5 years after diagnosis. Among patients with stage I-III cancer, transplanted patients had lower odds of treatment with abdominal surgery [odds ratio (OR):0.27, 95% confidence interval (CI):0.08-0.90], than non-transplanted patients. Among those treated with surgery, transplanted colon cancer patients had lower odds of receiving adjuvant chemotherapy (OR:0.31, 95% CI:0.11-0.85), and transplanted rectal cancer patients had higher rate of relapse (hazard ratio:9.60, 95% CI:1.84-50.1), than non-transplanted patients. Five-year cancer-specific and overall survival was 56% and 35% among transplanted CRC patients, and 68% and 57% among non-transplanted. Accordingly, transplanted CRC patients were treated less intensely than non-transplanted patients, and had worse cancer-specific and overall survival. These patients might benefit from multidisciplinary evaluation including transplantation specialists.
