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

aimGastric cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Surgery is the mainstay treatment for gastric cancer. There are no prediction models that examine the severity of postoperative morbidity. Herein, we constructed prediction models that analyze the risk for postoperative morbidity based on severity.

methodsPerioperative data were retrieved from the National Clinical Database in patients who underwent elective gastric cancer resection between 2011 and 2012 in Japan. Severity of postoperative complications was determined by Clavien-Dindo classification. Patients were randomly divided into two groups, the development set and the validation set. Logistic regression analysis was used to build prediction models. Calibration powers of the models were assessed by a calibration plot in which linearity between the observed and predicted event rates in 10 risk bands was assessed by the Pearson

resultsWe obtained 154 278 patients for the analysis. Prediction models were constructed for grade ≥2, grade ≥3, grade ≥4, and grade 5 in the development set (n = 77 423). Calibration plots of these models showed significant linearity in the validation set (n = 76 855):

conclusionPrediction models for postoperative morbidity based on grade will provide a comprehensive risk of surgery. These models may be useful for informed consent and surgical decision-making.
