Risk factors for postoperative complications after gastrectomy in gastric cancer patients with comorbidities.
Article in Surgery today, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 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
purposeWe conducted this retrospective cohort study to evaluate which preoperative comorbidities and their combinations are most strongly associated with postoperative complications after gastrectomy.
methodsWe collected data on 214 consecutive patients who underwent gastrectomy for gastric cancer. Preoperative comorbidities were placed into one of ten categories: cardiac, pulmonary, liver, renal, central nervous system, hypertension, diabetes, endocrine/metabolic, vascular, and immune/hematological. The relationship between the number of comorbidities and the incidence of postoperative complications was evaluated.
resultsAmong 120 patients (56.1 %) with comorbidities, 48 had a single comorbidity and 72 had multiple (≥2) comorbidities. The incidence of postoperative complications was 45.8 % (33/72) for patients with multiple comorbidities and 23.9 % (34/142) for those with 0 or 1 comorbidity (P = 0.001). Among the ten types of comorbidities, only pulmonary (P = 0.019) and vascular diseases (P = 0.007) were significantly associated with the occurrence of postoperative complications.
conclusionPatients with multiple comorbidities had a significantly higher incidence of postoperative complications after gastrectomy. Among the comorbidities studied, pulmonary and vascular diseases had the strongest association with postoperative complications.
