Income Level and Survival After Resection of Liver Metastases: A Population-Based Study.
Article in World journal of surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundThis study aimed to investigate whether socioeconomic factors are associated with an improved long-term survival after colorectal cancer liver metastases (LM) resection.
methodsA retrospective nationwide population-based cohort study. All patients who underwent hepatectomy in Sweden between 2002 and 2011 were identified in the Swedish Hospital Discharge Registry using their unique personal identification numbers. This cohort was linked to the National Cancer Registry (cancer diagnosis), the National Registry of Causes of Death, and the Migration Registry. Survival analysis by the Kaplan-Meier method was performed to assess long-term outcome. A Cox regression model was used to analyze risk factors affecting long-term survival.
resultsIn total, 2874 liver resections were performed in 2327 patients who were included in the study. In the group, 1362 (59%) were male and the median age was 65 (3-89) years. Patients that had more than one resection, the time was counted from the last resection. The main resection was a local resection that was performed in 60% of patients. The overall 5-year survival rate was 48%. In the univariate analysis, there was a significant association in overall survival for age, comorbidity, sex, income, and education level. In the adjusted multivariate logistic regression analysis, there was a significant relation with (higher OS, for lower age (HR 1.46 (95% CI: 1.23-1.72) and p < 0.001), lower comorbidity (HR 0.78 (95% CI: 0.66-0.92) and p < 0.003), female sex (HR 1.24 (95% CI: 1.05-1.47) and p = 0.01), and higher income (HR 0.84 (95% CI: 0.71-0.99) and p = 0.045)).
conclusionsPatients that underwent surgery for LM from mainly colorectal disease and who have a low-income experience shorter overall survival. Further findings showed that patients with lower age and comorbidity and female sex had longer overall survival.
