CT-quantified muscle and fat change in patients after surgery or endoscopic resection for early gastric cancer and its impact on long-term outcomes.

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 purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of the body composition changes on patients' long-term outcomes after endoscopic resection or surgery for mucosal gastric cancer.This case-control study included 96 patients who underwent endoscopic resection or surgery after propensity score matching. Areas of fat and muscle measured on CT were compared between the 2 groups. The effects of the variables on disease-free and overall survival were assessed using Cox-regression analysis and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis.The median overall survival of the surgical and endoscopic resection groups was 91.1 and 93.9 months (P = .080). Fat area was decreased significantly more after surgery (P < .001). The number of patients with sarcopenia was increased in the surgery group. Kaplan-Meier plot showed that overall survival was significantly correlated with post-treatment sarcopenia (P = .049).CT-based body composition analysis was helpful to evaluate the change in fat and muscle areas after treatment of early gastric cancer. The losses of fat and muscle after treatment were negatively associated with the patient overall survival.
