Effect of postoperative complications on 5-year survival following laparoscopic surgery for resectable colorectal cancer: a retrospective study.
Article in International journal of colorectal disease, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
purposeThe purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of postoperative complications on long-term survival after laparoscopic surgery for resectable colorectal cancer.
methodsWe retrospectively included 204 patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer from January 2016 to June 2020.
resultsOverall, 68 (33.3%) patients had postoperative complications, twelve (17.6%) of which were classified as Clavien-Dindo class 3a or higher. The 5-year overall survival rate of the non-complication and complication groups were 93.0% and 81.7%, respectively (p = 0.048; Kaplan-Meier analysis and log-rank test), and those among patients with stage III disease were 87.0% and 61.3%, respectively (p = 0.045). The 5-year disease-free survival rates were 85.6% and 77.4%, respectively (p = 0.042). Multivariable Cox proportional-hazards analysis revealed that nodal stage (hazard ratio, 8.392; 95% confidence interval, 1.892-37.175; p = 0.005) was an independent prognostic factor for overall survival, and postoperative complications (hazard ratio, 2.996; 95% confidence interval, 1.076-8.340; p = 0.036) were independent prognostic factors for disease-free survival.
conclusionPostoperative complications were associated with poor oncological outcomes, especially among patients with stage III colorectal cancer, and independent prognostic factors for disease-free survival.
