A Novel Nomogram for Predicting Postsurgical Intra-abdominal Infection in Gastric Cancer Patients: a Prospective Study.
Article in Journal of gastrointestinal surgery : official journal of the Society for Surgery of the Alimentary Tract, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 3 of them syntheses 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
backgroundThis study aimed to determine the relationship between intra-abdominal infection (IAI) and sarcopenia prospectively and to construct a nomogram to identify patients at a high risk of IAI.
methodsWe conducted a prospective study of 682 consecutive patients with gastric cancer who underwent radical gastrectomy. The sarcopenia elements, including lumbar skeletal muscle index, handgrip strength, and gait speed, were measured before surgery. Factors contributing to IAI were determined through univariate and multivariate analysis. A nomogram consisting of the independent risk factors was constructed to quantify the individual risk of IAI.
resultsOf the 682 patients enrolled in this study, 132 patients were diagnosed with sarcopenia and 61 were diagnosed with IAI. Logistic analysis revealed that sarcopenia, tumor size, pathological type, and multivisceral resection were independent prognostic factors for IAI. The nomogram model for IAI was able to reliably quantify the risk of IAI with a strong optimism-adjusted discrimination (concordance index, 0.736).
conclusionsSarcopenia is an independent predictor of IAI. Our nomogram was a simple and practical instrument to quantify the individual risk of IAI and could be used to identify patients at a high risk.
