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

purposeThe prognosis of gallbladder cancer is poor. Lymph node metastasis and the stage are known to be the strongest prognostic factors for survival. The aim of this study was to determine the importance of complementary surgery and other prognostic factors for survival of operated gallbladder cancer. MATERIAL AND

methodWe retrospectively analyzed 62 localized gallbladder cancers. The prognostic factors for survival were evaluated by univariate and multivariate analysis.

resultsThe 3-year overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) rates were 52.8 and 43.5%, respectively. Totally, 37 patients (59.6%) were diagnosed incidentally during simple cholecystectomy which was performed for benign causes but only 56.4% of them underwent complementary surgery. 51.6% of the recurrence was detected during 18.4 months of follow-up time. R0 resection, T stage, and pathological stage were found to be related with both OS and DFS by univariate analysis. Grade, lymph node metastasis, and adjuvant chemotherapy were also related with DFS. Presence of recurrence, recurrence side, performance score (PS), and perineural invasion (PNI) were related with OS. Peritoneal metastasis, advanced stage disease, and lymph node metastasis were more common among patients who did not undergo complementary surgery. Adjuvant chemotherapy was given more frequently to patients who undergone complementary surgery group. The multivariate analysis indicated that grade, lymph node metastasis, stage, recurrence site, PS, and adjuvant chemotherapy stage were independent prognostic factors for DFS on the other and only stage was a prognostic factor for OS.

conclusionOur results showed that incidental diagnosis or complementary surgery was not related with DFS or OS but stage was only an independent prognostic factor for both OS and DFS in resected gallbladder cancer.
