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

purposeA study was conducted to clarify the actual status of nutrition management after gastric cancer surgery in Japan and obtain basic data for optimizing perioperative nutrition management.

methodsA questionnaire was sent to 354 hospitals with at least 50 cases of gastric cancer surgery per year. Questions included the perioperative nutrition management and length of hospital stay for patients who underwent gastric cancer surgery within three months of the survey.

resultsResponses were obtained from 242 hospitals (68%; 20,858 patients). Nutrition management was consistent between laparotomy and laparoscopic surgery for 84% of respondents. The number of postoperative days was the most commonly chosen index for starting oral feeding. The most commonly chosen index for hospital dischargeability was diet composition/amount consumed in 182 hospitals (44%), followed by laboratory data stabilization in 106 hospitals (26%), and the number of postoperative days in 87 hospitals (21%). A positive correlation was found between the mean length of postoperative hospital stay and starting oral feeding (r = 0.23 for distal gastrectomy; r = 0.34 for total gastrectomy). The length of hospital stay tended to be shorter with an earlier start of oral feeding (p < 0.01).

conclusionEarly postoperative oral feeding may be a factor in reducing the length of hospital stay after gastric cancer surgery.
