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

backgroundUnlike the wide acceptance of early enteral nutrition after colorectal surgery, little information is available regarding the feasibility of immediate oral nutrition after gastric cancer surgery. This study evaluated the feasibility and safety of oral nutrition on the first postoperative day after gastrectomy.

methodsFrom September 2010 to March 2011, 74 consecutive gastric cancer patients received an oral diet on the first postoperative day after gastrectomy. Surgical outcomes, including hospital stay, morbidity, and mortality, were compared with a conventional diet group (n = 96, before September 2010), in which an oral diet was started on the third or fourth postoperative day.

resultsNo significant differences were found in the clinicopathological characteristics or operation types between the two groups. Average diet start times in the early diet (ED) and conventional diet (CD) groups were 1.8 and. 3.2, respectively (p < 0.001). The mean hospital stay was significantly shorter in the ED group (7.4 vs. 8.9 days, p = 0.004). There was no significant difference in postoperative morbidity (p = 0.947) between the two groups. Gastrointestinal-related complications, such as anastomosis leakage or postoperative ileus, were also similar in the two groups. Overall compliance to early oral nutrition in the ED group was 78.5 %, and an old age (≥70 years) was found to affect the compliance to early postoperative oral nutrition.

conclusionsPostoperative oral nutrition is safe and feasible on the first postoperative day after gastrectomy. However, elderly patients require careful monitoring when applying early oral nutrition after gastrectomy.
