Incidence, causes and risk factors for 30-day readmission after radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer: a retrospective study of 2,023 patients.

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
The aim of this retrospective study was to investigate the incidence of, causes and risk factors for readmission to hospital ≤30 days after discharge of patients who underwent radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer. A total of 2,023 patients underwent radical gastrectomy operations from November 2010 to July 2017 in our hospital. Of these, 60 patients (3.0%) were readmitted within 30 days after their original discharge. The median time span between the index discharge and readmission was 14 days and the median time for readmission was 8 days. The main reasons for readmission were intestinal obstruction (n = 10, 16.7%), intra-abdominal fluid collection (n = 9, 15.0%), abdominal pain (n = 7, 11.7%), nutritional difficulty (n = 4, 6.7%) and anastomotic leakage (n = 4, 6.7%). Five patients (8.3%) required intensive care and 4 patients (6.7%) died from sudden cardiac arrest, gastrointestinal bleeding, sepsis or multiple organ dysfunctions. Multivariate analysis revealed that post-operative complications (Odds Ratio = 5.116, 95% confidence interval: 2.885-9.073, P < 0.001) was the only independent risk factor for readmission. Thus, appropriate strategies on discharge and close follow-ups for these high-risk patients should be drawn up in order to enhance significantly their quality of care.
