Relationship between clinical features and distant metastases in rectal cancer predicted based on a nomogram: a retrospective cohort study.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Rectal cancer is a prevalent global malignancy. Recurrence and metastasis significantly impact patient survival over the long term. This study aims to identify independent risk factors associated with distant metastases in rectal cancer (RC) patients and develop a prognostic columnar-line diagram. This retrospective analysis encompasses data from 1,118 RC patients treated at the Department of Anorectal Surgery, Chifeng Municipal Hospital, between December 2015 and October 2023. These patients were diagnosed with stage I-IV RC. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression models identified risk factors for distant metastases development. The median follow-up duration was 61.3 months (range 2.24-96.33 months). The identified factors linked to distant metastases in RC included hemoglobin levels, body mass index (BMI), leukocyte neutrophil percentage, tumour diameter, pathology type, differentiation degree, number of detected lymph nodes, and T and N stages. These factors are significant risk indicators for distant metastases in RC patients. Incorporating these identified risk factors into a columnar-line diagram effectively predicts the likelihood of distant metastasis in RC patients. This approach aids in devising precise treatment strategies during the initial patient consultation.
