Early onset Colorectal Cancer and its association with its histological subtypes.
Article in Pakistan journal of medical sciences, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Objective: There are different clinicopathological features between early and late onset colorectal cancer. We aimed to characterize the histological features of colorectal cancer (CRC) at different age groups in our institution. Methods: Total 232 patients with histologically proven colorectal cancer between ages 13-99 were included. This is retrospective study. Data collected from tumour registry Shifa International Hospital from January 1 Results: Mean age at diagnosis was 55.49+/-16.43 years. Out of total 232 patients 58.6% were male and 41.3% were females (p value= 0.16). 150 (64.9%) were aged > 50 years and 81 (35.1%) were age < or equal to 50 years (p value = 0.44). Most common histological subtype was adenocarcinoma that was found in 188 (81%) cases. One hundred fifty five (66.8%) patients had Grade-II tumor, 67(28.9%) with Grade-III and 10 (4.3%) with Grade-I tumor. Fifty eight (25%) patients presented with metastatic disease. A significantly higher percentage of patients with signet ring cell cancer presented with a high-grade tumor when compared with patients with adenocarcinoma and mucinous carcinoma (93.7% vs 21.8%, p-value- <0.001%; 93.7% vs 39.2%, p-value <0.001). A significantly higher percentage of patients with mucinous adenocarcinoma and signet ring cell carcinoma presented at age less than 50 as compared to those with adenocarcinoma (60.7%, 56.2% and 30.8% respectively; p-value <0.05). Conclusion: This study signifies that mucinous and signet ring cell type CRC present at an early age and with a higher proportion of patients with high tumour grade. Early diagnosis is key to help improve outcomes in these patients.
