Mortality after esophageal and gastric cancer resection.
Article in World journal of surgery, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
backgroundContrasting findings on trends and determinants of operative mortality after surgery for esophageal and gastric cancer have been reported from population-based studies.
methodsDischarge records of residents in the Veneto Region (northeastern Italy) with a diagnosis of esophageal or gastric cancer and intervention codes for esophagectomy or gastrectomy were extracted for the years 2000-2009. In-hospital, 30-day, 90-day, and perioperative (30-day + in-hospital) mortality were computed. The influence of patient and hospital variables on in-hospital mortality was assessed through multilevel models.
resultsOverall, 6,500 resections were performed in the period of 2000-2009, with a 10 % decline in the second half of the study period. In-hospital mortality was 4.6 % (5.3 % in 2000-2004 and 3.8 % in 2005-2009) and was higher for extended total gastrectomy and total esophagectomy. In 2005-2009 mortality declined for all resection types except extended total gastrectomy (8.0 %). For esophageal procedures, 30-day mortality was lower than in-hospital or perioperative mortality. A protective effect of procedural volume was found for esophageal but not for gastric resections; among gastric procedures, mortality was higher in male patients and in extended total gastrectomy patients.
conclusionsAnalyses of discharge records allowed investigation at a population level of time trends (downward mainly for esophageal resections) and determinants of perioperative mortality (hospital volume, gender, and procedure type).
