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

backgroundCurative surgery for remnant gastric cancer (RGC) after gastrectomy for gastric cancer (GC) can be challenging. We examined the risk factors for lymph node metastasis in RGC, especially for tumors located at the greater curvature (G) or non-greater curvature (NG), to determine the appropriate indications of curative surgery.

methodsData from the two high-volume centers of Japan between 1998 and 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. Among the 137 patients enrolled in this study, 34 were classified as the G group and 103 as the NG group. The incidence of lymph node metastasis and its risk factors was evaluated.

resultsLymph node metastasis was observed in 21.2% (29/137), including 38.2% (13/34) in the G group and 15.5% (16/103) in the NG group (p = 0.008). A logistic regression analysis showed that tumor location of G or NG (p = 0.042), tumor size (p = 0.002) and depth of invasion (p = 0.009) were significant independent risk factors for nodal metastasis. Risk classification using these factors showed that clinical T1-T2 with a maximum size < 35 mm located at the non-greater curvature had the lowest nodal metastatic risk (4.3%).

conclusionsTumor location at the G or NG was a significant risk factor for nodal metastasis in RGC. When selecting curative surgery for RGC, physicians should consider the nodal metastatic risk calculated by the tumor location, size and depth of invasion.
