Do alterations in plasma albumin and prealbumin after minimally invasive esophagectomy for squamous cell carcinoma influence the incidence of cervical anastomotic leak?
Article in Surgical endoscopy, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
backgroundAnastomotic leak (AL) remains a challenging and bothersome complication of minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE). In this retrospective study, we measured the perioperative albumin (ALB) and prealbumin (PA) of patients who underwent MIE, and investigated the relationship between the occurrence of AL and the altering levels of ALB/PA. PATIENTS AND
methodsSixty patients underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic-laparoscopic esophagectomy between September 2013 and August 2014. The preoperative and postoperative levels of ALB and PA were detected, and the baseline of altering levels for ALB and PA were established. According to the decreasing values of postoperative ALB, patients were divided into Group A1 (decreased value of ALB over the average level) and Group A2 (decreased value of ALB not reach the average level). Similarly, patients were also divided into Group P1 and Group P2 according to the average decreasing values of postoperative PA. The incidence of AL and non-anastomotic-relative complications between different groups were calculated and analyzed.
resultsOne postoperative death occurred (1/60, 1.7 %). Eighteen complications were observed (18/60, 30 %), including seven cases of cervical AL (7/60, 11.7 %). There was no significant difference in background or clinicopathologic factors between different groups. The levels of ALB and PA descended significantly after MIE (p = 0.0000, p = 0.0000, respectively). No correlation between deficient levels of ALB and PA was observed (p = 0.1874, r = 0.0298). There was a significant higher AL incidence in Group P1 than in Group P2 (p = 0.0322). However, the incidence of AL did not exhibit significant difference between Group A1 and Group A2 (p = 0.9252).
conclusionsMIE appears to be a procedure of obvious influence on the nutrient metabolism of patients. The results demonstrated that patients with severely deficient level of PA had higher risk of AL after MIE.
