Radical surgery for gastric cancer in octogenarian patients.
Article in Updates in surgery, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
To valuate feasibility and results of radical surgery in octogenarian patients with gastric cancer. We collected data on 60 patients that underwent gastrectomy with an R0 resection at our Institution from 2010 to 2015. Patients were divided into two groups: octogenarian (OG) (n = 26), consisting of patients aged 80-89 years, and younger (YG) (n = 34), consisting of patients under 80 years of age. All patients were treated with total or subtotal gastrectomy with lymphadenectomy. A D2-lymphadenectomy was performed in 11 and 24 patients, a D1+ in 5 and 4, a D1 in 8 and 6, and a D0 in 2 and 0 cases in OG and YG respectively. The overall morbidity rate was 42.3% (11/26) in OG and 29.4% (10/34) in YG, while 90-days mortality was observed in four (15.4%) and one (2.9%) patients in OG and YG, respectively. The median hospital stay was 9 days (2-31) and 9.5 days (6-66) in OG and YG, respectively. Gastrectomy with radical resection and limited lymphadenectomy should be recommended for octogenarian patients with good performance status and low co-morbidity.
