Race, age, and sex differences on the influence of obesity on colorectal cancer sidedness and mortality: A national cross-sectional study.
Article in Journal of surgical oncology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
objectivesColorectal cancer (CRC) sidedness is recognized as a prognostic factor for survival; left-sided colorectal cancer is associated with better outcomes than right-sided colon cancer (RsCC). We aimed to evaluate the influence of obesity on CRC sidedness and determine how race, age, and sex affect mortality among overweight and obese individuals.
methodsA survey-weighted analysis was conducted using data obtained from the National Inpatient Sample between 2016 and 2019.
resultsOf the 24 549 patients with a diagnosis of CRC and a reported body mass index (BMI), 13.6% were overweight and 49.9% were obese. The race distribution was predominantly non-Hispanic Whites (69.7%), followed by Black (15.6%), Hispanic (8.7%), and other race (6.1%). Overweight (BMI: 25-29.9) and obese (BMI: ≥30) individuals were more likely to have RsCC (adjusted OR [aOR] = 1.28; 95% CI: 1.17-1.39, p < 0.001 and aOR = 1.45; 95% CI: 1.37-1.54, p < 0.001, respectively). Obese Black individuals were more likely to have RsCC as compared to their White counterparts (aOR = 1.23; 95% CI: 1.09-1.38).
conclusionsObesity is associated with an increased risk of RsCC. In addition, racial disparities in CRC sidedness and outcomes are most pronounced among obese patients.
