Postoperative complications and prognosis after radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies.
Synthesis in World journal of surgical oncology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04734821 (Prospective Study on the Contribution of Fluorescence in the Guidance of Lymphadenectomy and in Peroperative Evaluation of Pre-anastomotic Tissue Perfusion in Laparoscopic Esogastric Oncologic Resections), which is not on this map. Cited by 83 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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.

Abstract
backgroundMany observational studies have reported correlations between postoperative complications and prognosis after radical gastrectomy but the results are controversial. This meta-analysis was performed to investigate whether there is a correlation between postoperative complications and prognosis after radical gastrectomy.
methodsLiterature searches were performed in PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library. Studies that investigated the correlations between any postoperative complications and prognosis after radical gastrectomy were included. The pooled hazard ratio (HR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) for postoperative complications regarding overall survival (OS) or recurrence-free survival (RFS) was calculated by using RevMan 5.3.5. Subgroup analyses were performed within pathological stages I, II, and III.
resultsSixteen retrospective studies comprising 12,065 patients were included. The pooled HR (95% CI) for complications regarding OS was 1.79 (1.39, 2.30) and was 1.40 (1.06, 1.84) after excluding in-hospital mortality; the pooled HR (95% CI) for complications regarding RFS was 1.28 (1.10, 1.49). The pooled HR (95% CI) for infectious complications and leakage regarding OS was 1.86 (1.22, 2.83) and 2.02 (1.02, 4.00), respectively. The pooled HR (95% CI) for any reported postoperative complications regarding OS for stage I, II, and III diseases was 2.39 (0.77, 7.46), 4.35 (2.58, 7.35), and 2.84 (1.77, 4.56), respectively.
conclusionsPostoperative complications correlate with poor prognosis after radical gastrectomy. Such correlations are found in stage II and III gastric cancer patients but remain to be determined in stage I gastric cancer patients.
