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

backgroundMorbidity after gastrectomy remains high. The potentially modifiable risk factors have not been well described. This study considers a series of potentially modifiable patient-specific and perioperative characteristics that could be considered to reduce morbidity and mortality after gastrectomy.

methodsThis retrospective cohort study includes adults in the ACS NSQIP PUF dataset who underwent gastrectomy between 2011 and 2013. Sequential multivariable models were used to estimate effects of clinical covariates on study outcomes including morbidity, mortality, readmission, and reoperation.

resultsThree thousand six hundred and seventy-eight patients underwent gastrectomy. A majority of patients had distal gastrectomy (N = 2,799, 76.1 %) and had resection for malignancy (N = 2,316, 63.0 %). Seven hundred and ninety-eight patients (21.7 %) experienced a major complication. Reoperation was required in 290 patients (7.9 %). Thirty-day mortality was 5.2 %. Age (OR = 1.01, 95 % CI = 1.01-1.02, p = 0.001), preoperative malnutrition (OR = 1.65, 95 % CI = 1.35-2.02, p < 0.001), total gastrectomy (OR = 1.63, 95 % CI = 1.31-2.03, p < 0.001), benign indication for resection (OR = 1.60, 95 % CI = 1.29-1.97, p < 0.001), blood transfusion (OR = 2.57, 95 % CI = 2.10-3.13, p < 0.001), and intraoperative placement of a feeding tubes (OR = 1.28, 95 % CI = 1.00-1.62, p = 0.047) were independently associated with increased risk of morbidity. Association between tobacco use and morbidity was statistically marginal (OR = 1.23, 95 % CI = 0.99-1.53, p = 0.064). All-cause postoperative morbidity had significant associations with reoperation, readmission, and mortality (all p < 0.001).

conclusionsMitigation of perioperative risk factors including smoking and malnutrition as well as identified operative considerations may improve outcomes after gastrectomy. Postoperative morbidity has the strongest association with other measures of poor outcome: reoperation, readmission, and mortality.
