Prognostic value of preoperative weight loss-adjusted body mass index on survival after esophagectomy for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
Article in World journal of gastroenterology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe impact of body mass index (BMI) on survival in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) undergoing surgery remains unclear. Therefore, a definition of clinically significant BMI in patients with ESCC is needed.
aimTo explore the impact of preoperative weight loss (PWL)-adjusted BMI on overall survival (OS) in patients undergoing surgery for ESCC.
methodsThis retrospective study consisted of 1545 patients who underwent curative resection for ESCC at West China Hospital of Sichuan University between August 2005 and December 2011. The relationship between PWL-adjusted BMI and OS was examined, and a multivariate analysis was performed and adjusted for age, sex, TNM stage and adjuvant therapy.
resultsTrends of poor survival were observed for patients with increasing PWL and decreasing BMI. Patients with BMI ≥ 20.0 kg/m
conclusionPWL-adjusted BMI has an independent prognostic impact on OS in patients with ESCC undergoing surgery. BMI might be an indicator for patients with PWL < 8.8% rather than ≥ 8.8%.
