Long-term impact of postoperative pneumonia after curative gastrectomy for elderly gastric cancer patients.
Article in Annals of gastroenterological surgery, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 29 papers, 2 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
With the extension of life expectancy, cancer has been increasing in elderly populations. Postoperative pneumonia can negatively influence immediate mortality following gastrectomy for elderly patients, but its impact on long-term survival remains unclear. We retrospectively reviewed the cases of patients aged ≥75 years who underwent curative gastrectomy for gastric cancer from 2000 to 2014 to determine the long-term effects of postoperative pneumonia and to identify independent risk factors along with physical status and surgical procedure. Of 250 patients, 32 (12.8%) developed postoperative pneumonia. Patients with postoperative pneumonia had significantly worse overall survival (OS) than those without postoperative pneumonia (
