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

backgroundPulmonary thromboembolism (PE) is one of the life-threatening complications of gastric cancer surgery. D-dimer assay is a safe and rapid tool to exclude the presence of deep venous thrombosis (DVT). In July 2012, we started preoperative DVT screening of patients scheduled for gastric cancer surgery using a combination of D-dimer measurements and lower extremity venous ultrasonography to prevent PE.

methodsBetween July 2012 and August 2015, 976 consecutive patients underwent gastric cancer surgery with preoperative D-dimer screening. Lower extremity venous ultrasonography was performed in patients with a positive D-dimer assay result (greater than 1.0 μg/ml). The incidence of and risk factors for preoperative DVT and the incidence of PE were examined in patients undergoing gastric cancer surgery.

resultsOf the 976 patients, 176 (18.0%) showed positive D-dimer assay results, and in 13 (1.3%) DVT was diagnosed by lower extremity ultrasonography. Our analysis identified neoadjuvant chemotherapy as a risk factor for preoperative detection of DVT in patients undergoing gastric cancer surgery (P = 0.021). The incidence of PE was 0.1% (1/976).

conclusionPreoperative gastric cancer patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy seem to be at higher risk for the development of DVT.
