Correlation between clinical features, medical history, and lifestyle factors with colorectal cancer stage.
Article in Future science OA, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundColorectal cancer (CRC) represents a significant public health burden, with patient prognosis largely determined by the stage at diagnosis. Various factors, including modifiable lifestyle habits, may influence the disease stage at presentation.
aimsThis study aimed to identify factors correlated with advanced tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) stages of CRC at diagnosis.
methodsWe conducted a retrospective cross-sectional study over five years in the general surgery department of Farhat Hached Hospital, Sousse, Tunisia. The study included patients who underwent surgery for adenocarcinoma-like CRC.
resultsOur study included 169 patients, with an average age of 62.57 years and a male predominance. Smoking was reported in 51% of cases, and alcohol consumption in 45.9%. Stage II was the most prevalent stage in our cohort (34.9%). Smoking (
conclusionsOur findings suggest that alcohol and tobacco consumption are associated with later diagnosis or may accelerate disease progression. This observed correlation with advanced stages suggests potential mechanisms without claiming direct causation. Implementing public health measures to reduce alcohol and tobacco consumption could decrease the likelihood of being diagnosed with advanced CRC.
