Feasibility and Safety of Early Oral Feeding in Patients with Gastric Cancer After Radical Gastrectomy.
Article in Indian journal of surgical oncology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
An enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol is useful in patients undergoing colorectal surgery. However, its feasibility for gastric surgery remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and safety of early oral feeding (EOF) for patients with gastric cancer after radical gastrectomy. The EOF protocol was implemented in 397 patients who underwent radical gastrectomy between 2005 and 2014 at our hospital. The protocol was common in 277 patients after distal gastrectomy (DG) and 120 patients after total gastrectomy (TG). The patients were scheduled to start drinking water in the morning of the first postoperative day and to start thin rice gruel with a liquid nutrition supplement on the second postoperative day. We analyzed the incidence of postoperative complications and surgical outcomes in these patients. Furthermore, we analyzed risk factors for dropout from the EOF protocol. All patients started drinking water, while 26 patients were unable to start eating. The EOF protocol was implemented in 371 patients (93%), and 48 patients stopped eating. Specifically, 227 patients (87%) after DG and 96 patients (88%) after TG followed the EOF protocol perfectly. The incidence of postoperative complications, including anastomotic leakage (
