1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundStandard follow up for bone recurrence has not yet been established for gastric cancer after surgical resection. The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of and related risk factors for bone recurrence after surgical resection of gastric cancer.

methodsA cohort of 3035 gastric cancer patients after curative resection was reviewed. We analyzed the patients who had bone scintigraphy before the surgery as well as during the follow-up period. The incidence of and the risk factors for bone recurrence after surgical resection of gastric cancer were investigated.

resultsIn a total of 1683 patients analyzed, bone recurrence was detected in 30 patients (1.8%). The incidence of bone recurrence was significantly higher in advanced gastric cancers than in early lesions (3.5 vs. 0.4%, p < 0.01). The most common recurrence site was the spine, followed by pelvic bone and rib. Most patients had multiple bone metastases. The median time for recurrence was 28 months (range 4-111) from the surgery. In univariate analysis, the recurrence rate was higher in the tumors with large size, undifferentiated pathology, location in the body, and advanced stage. In multivariate analysis, lymph node metastasis (N2/N3 vs. N0/N0I) was the most predictable risk factor for bone recurrence [hazard ratio [HR] 1.44 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.217-1.694)] and depth of invasion (T2-4 vs. T1) was also independently associated with bone recurrence.

conclusionsThe incidence of bone recurrence was low after curative surgery in patients with gastric cancer. Intensive follow up with bone scintigraphy seems to be unnecessary in these patients.
