1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundQuality of life (QoL) is a crucial outcome measure in cancer care. This study aimed to identify the association of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among colorectal cancer (CRC) patients in Malaysia.

methodsThe study was conducted from January 2021 to July 2022, recruiting CRC patients from two teaching hospitals in Malaysia. The validated Malay versions of EORTC QLQ-C30 and QLQ-CR29 questionnaires assessed physical, psychological, and social functioning. Patients were evaluated 6 months after diagnosis to determine QoL associations. Anthropometric measurements were recorded at baseline (diagnosis, 0 months) and at follow-up (6 months).

resultsAmong 87 CRC patients (55.2% male, mean age 59.8 ± 11.8 years), 37.9% had stage III disease and 13.8% had stage IV. Most patients (93%) underwent surgery and 78% received chemotherapy. The mean global health status score was 66.57 ± 20.75. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that older age (

conclusionsAdvanced age, disease stage, and nutritional status are significant associations of QoL in Malaysian CRC patients. These findings highlight the importance of nutritional assessment and intervention in CRC survivorship care to optimize patient outcomes.
