Surgical outcomes of gastroenterological surgery in Japan: Report of the National Clinical Database 2011-2017.
Article in Annals of gastroenterological surgery, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 51 papers.
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
backgroundThe Japanese National Clinical Database (NCD) is a large-scale, nationwide, web-based data entry system that is linked to the surgical board certification system and covers almost all surgical cases carried out in Japan.
aimTo evaluate outcomes according to the gastroenterological section of the NCD.
methodsThe 115 surgical procedures stipulated by the "Training Curriculum for Board-Certified Surgeons in Gastroenterology" were registered from 2011 to 2017. The number of surgeries, preoperative comorbidities, and short-term outcomes were compared between registration periods.
resultsIn total, 3 818 414 cases have been registered. More than 70% of all surgeries were carried out at certified institutions. The annual number of cases has been increasing year after year, and the aged population has also been increasing. Although the rates of preoperative comorbidities and postoperative complications have been increasing, the postoperative mortality rate has remained relatively low; in 2017, the 30-day mortality rate was 1.0% among those who underwent esophagectomy, 0.7% among those who underwent distal gastrectomy, 1.1% among those who underwent total gastrectomy, 1.3% among those who underwent right hemicolectomy, 0.5% among those who underwent low anterior resection, 1.3% among those who underwent hepatectomy, and 1.3% among those who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy. The annual rate of endoscopic surgery dramatically increased over 7 years between 2011 and 2017, especially for low anterior resection (29.5%-62.6%) and esophagectomy (31.0%-56.1%).
conclusionThis database is expected to ensure the quality of the board-certification system and surgical outcomes in gastroenterological surgery.
