Title: Title: Risk factors for long-term survival in patients with ypN+M0 rectal cancer after
radical anterior resection
Version: 5 Date: 28 Feb 2022
Reviewer's report:
I appreciate obtaining the opportunity to review your manuscript again. I confirmed that your
manuscript has been modified appropriately. In particular, the discussion section included a
detailed discussion of ACEI and NLN. Besides, figures and tables were integrated and omitted
properly. These fundamental changes made have improved the readability.
The remaining concerning points are listed below.
In the abstract, abbreviations frequently appear for the first time. (e.g., DFS, ACEIs, HR, DSS,
etc.) At least the first time, non-abbreviated names should be described.
In the process of study group formation shown in Table 1, cases with postoperative mortality
within 30 days are excluded; however, you mentioned “30-day mortality after surgery was 1.7%”
in the results section (line 136). If it is to be excluded from the analysis, it should NOT be
mentioned.
In your manuscript, Figure 2A appeared after Figure 2B and 2C. It should be corrected in the
proper order.
