Prognostic value of surgical treatment in elderly patients with ulcerative colitis-associated colorectal cancer: A subanalysis of a nationwide Japanese multicenter study.

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
Aim: Our study aimed to examine the characteristics of elderly patients diagnosed with ulcerative colitis-associated colorectal cancer (UAC) and evaluate the impact of surgical intervention on prognosis. Methods: A total of 1086 patients diagnosed with UAC between 1980 and 2020 were retrospectively enrolled. Data were collected through the Japanese Society for Cancer of the Colon and Rectum project. The patients were divided into two groups: 248 elderly patients in the E-UAC group and 838 nonelderly patients in the NE-UAC group. Patients aged >65 y at cancer diagnosis were considered elderly. Results: The recurrence rate did not differ between the two groups. Segmental resection was the only common independent risk factor for recurrence in both the E-UAC and the NE-UAC groups. The E-UAC patients had significantly better 5-y disease-specific survival (DSS) than the NE-UAC patients (94.7% vs 91.0%, Conclusion: Despite the elevated risk of cancer recurrence observed in the UAC patients who underwent segmental resection in both the E-UAC the NE-UAC groups, our findings suggested that segmental resection may be a viable alternative to total proctocolectomy in terms of survival rate for the E-UAC patients.
