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

BACKGROUND AND

aimManagement of malignant colorectal polyp has been a treatment dilemma for clinicians. This study aims to evaluate the long-term survival outcome of patients with and without salvage surgery after local excision.

methodsFrom January 2000 to December 2022, patients with T1 malignant colorectal polyp diagnosed after local excision managed by two institutions were included for retrospective review. After propensity score matching, disease-free, cancer-specific, and overall survival between local excision alone (LE alone) group and local excision with salvage surgery (LE + SS) group were compared using Kaplan-Meier curves and log-rank test. Multivariate analysis was performed with Cox regression model to identify independent risk factors affecting disease-free survival.

resultsSeventy-nine propensity score-matched pairs were extracted from 309 patients with a mean follow-up of 65.3

conclusionLocal excision alone is non-inferior to local excision followed by salvage surgery in terms of long-term oncological outcome. With better risk profile assessment, local excision alone can be a safe treatment option in patients with T1 colorectal cancer.
