Nationwide survey and establishment of a clinical database for gastrointestinal surgery in Japan: Targeting integration of a cancer registration system and improving the outcome of cancer treatment.

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
As there was no nationwide database for gastrointestinal surgery in Japan at the time, in 2006, a Clinical Database Committee was established in the Japanese Society of Gastrointestinal Surgery (JSGS) to create a clinical database in Japan. The Committee first organized preliminary nationwide Japanese surveys in gastrointestinal surgery in 2006 and 2007. Data from more than 770,000 patients were accumulated from these web-based surveys, including 333,627 patients in 1039 institutions in 2006 and 440,230 patients in 1464 institutions in 2007. The mortality rate was stratified by organ, surgical procedure and hospital volume without using risk-adjustment techniques. The overall mortality rate was 0.95% in the 2006 survey and 0.92% in the 2007 survey. The organ-based analysis found that the mortality rates were almost similar in 2006 and 2007. Hospital volume influenced the mortality rate in six major surgical procedures, namely esophagectomy, gastrectomy, total gastrectomy, low anterior rectal resection, hepatic resection and pancreaticoduodenectomy. A risk reduction of 30-80% was noted in each surgical procedure, at least in our non-risk-adjusted analysis, in hospitals with a high volume of operations. These preliminary surveys indicate that hospital volume might influence the mortality rate after major abdominal surgery. Further analysis using risk-adjustment techniques should be conducted to understand the specific contribution of hospital volume to surgical mortality. A nationwide database of patients who have undergone gastrointestinal surgery and risk-adjustment analysis of the data are currently planned in Japan.
