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

backgroundThe aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of pre-existing type-2 diabetes on postoperative recovery and prognosis in gastric cancer (GC) patients who underwent radical gastrectomy. RESEARCH DESIGN AND

methodsFrom June 2001 to June 2011, a total of 1,014 eligible patients were enrolled. Among them, 67 patients were diagnosed with type-2 diabetes. The clinicopathologic features and prognostic data were compared between patients with type-2 diabetes (the DM group) and without diabetes (the non-DM group).

resultsMedian survival was 68.3 months. The 5-year overall survival in the DM group was similar to that in the non-DM group (52.1 vs. 53.0 %, p = 0.411). Propensity score matching analysis demonstrated that the hazard ratio of death in the DM group was 1.191 (95 % confidential index 0.693-2.072; p = 0.531) compared to the-non DM group. Incidence of postoperative complications was higher in the DM group than in the non-DM group (17.9 vs. 8.1 %, p = 0.006). The DM remission rate was 46 % among patients who received Roux-en-Y reconstruction, and 13 % among patients who received Billroth II anastomosis (p = 0.009). The 5-year overall survival rate was 62.1 % for patients with cured or improved DM and 23.4 % for patients with worse or same DM status (p = 0.003).

conclusionType-2 diabetes can be cured by radical gastrectomy plus Roux-en-Y reconstruction in some GC patients. Pre-existing diabetes is associated with increased postoperative complications and decreased survival when it becomes worse after curative dissection for GC.
