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

The role of non-curative surgery for patients with M1 gastric cancer (GC) is controversial. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of non-curative resectional surgery for patients with GC with local peritoneal metastasis.We reviewed the medical records of 47 patients with GC with local peritoneal metastasis, which was found by laparotomy or laparoscopy. The patients were divided into 2 groups: those who underwent gastric resection (n = 29), and a non-resection group who did not (n = 18). The clinical characteristics, postoperative complications, mortality, palliative intervention, and long-term outcomes of the 2 groups were compared.Complications occurred more frequently in the resection group than in non-resection group (P = 0.017). There was no postoperative mortality or reoperation in either group. Palliative intervention was performed in 9 (31%) patients in resection group and 16 (88.9%) patients in non-resection group (P < 0.001). The intervention interval and hospital-free time were significant longer in resection group than in non-resection group (P < 0.001, P < 0.001). The Kaplan-Meier survival curves revealed that resection group had longer survival than non-resection group (P < 0.001).Non-curative resectional surgery helps prolong survival time and improve the quality of life for patients with GC with local peritoneal metastasis.
