Postoperative gastrectomy outcomes in octogenarians with gastric cancer.

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
purposeIt is controversial whether the treatment strategy for gastric cancer should be different for elderly patients. We herein evaluated the feasibility of gastrectomy and the risk factors for postoperative complications in octogenarians with gastric cancer.
methodsWe retrospectively collected data on 441 consecutive patients who underwent total or subtotal gastrectomy for gastric cancer. We divided all of the patients into two groups: the octogenarian group (n = 47), consisting of patients aged 80-89 years, and the younger group (n = 394), consisting of patients under 80 years of age.
resultsThe postoperative complication rate was 23.1% (91/394) in the younger group and 36.2% (17/47) in the octogenarian group (P = 0.049). Octogenarian patients had significantly lower preoperative serum albumin levels (P < 0.001) and higher ASA scores (P < 0.001). Although the rate of each major complication was similar between the two groups, there was a trend toward a higher rate of other miscellaneous complications, mostly non-surgical complications, in the octogenarian group (P = 0.077). A multivariate analysis of the patients in the octogenarian group revealed that only total gastrectomy was a significant risk factor for postoperative complications (P = 0.035).
conclusionOctogenarian patients with gastric cancer experienced more complications than younger patients. Therefore, closer monitoring is needed for octogenarian patients who will receive total gastrectomy.
