Analysis of gallstone disease after gastric cancer surgery.
Article in Gastric cancer : official journal of the International Gastric Cancer Association and the Japanese Gastric Cancer Association, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 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
backgroundThe incidence rate of newly developed gallstone disease after gastrectomy for gastric cancer is thought to be higher than that in the general population. However, the presentation and management of these gallstones remain under debate, and the role of prophylactic cholecystectomy remains questionable.
methodsData on adult patients who were diagnosed with gastric cancer and received gastrectomy between 2000 and 2011 were extracted from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database. A patient was excluded if he or she had gallstone disease or received cholecystectomy before the index date. The incidence of newly developed gallstone disease and its subsequent management were recorded. Data were analyzed to evaluate the factors associated with gallstone development and treatment options.
resultsA total of 17,325 gastric cancer patients who underwent gastrectomy were eligible for analysis. During the follow-up period (mean 4.1 years; median, 2.9 years), 1280 (7.4%) patients developed gallstone disease and 560 (3.2%) patients subsequently underwent cholecystectomy. The in-hospital mortality for cholecystectomy was 1.8% (10/560). Development of gallstone disease was associated with older age, total gastrectomy, duodenal exclusion, diabetes, cirrhosis, and more comorbidities. Factors associated with the use of cholecystectomy to treat gallstone disease included younger age, fewer comorbidities, medical center admission, and presentation as cholecystitis.
conclusionsAlthough few patients required further gallbladder removal after gastrectomy for gastric malignancy, the increased mortality rate for subsequent cholecystectomy was worth noting. The decision to undergo prophylactic cholecystectomy might be individualized based upon patient characteristics and the surgeon's discretion.
