Predictors of Preoperative Quality of Life in Older Patients With Colorectal Cancer in Taiwan: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

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
BackgroundColorectal cancer (CRC) predominantly affects older adults, whose treatment outcomes may be influenced by baseline health-related quality of life (HRQoL). This study aimed to identify predictors of poor preoperative HRQoL in older patients undergoing CRC surgery and to stratify them into risk groups.MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed data on patients aged ≥65 years who underwent radical CRC surgery at a single medical center in Taiwan (2016-2018). Preoperative HRQoL was assessed using the EORTC QLQ-ELD14 questionnaire and a comprehensive geriatric assessment. Patients were stratified into high or low HRQoL groups based on the median QLQ-ELD14 sum score. Logistic regression identified independent predictors of poor HRQoL, and recursive partitioning analysis (RPA) was applied for risk stratification.ResultsAmong the 179 patients, the most distressing HRQoL domains were
