Modified Frailty Index is Useful in Predicting Non-home Discharge in Elderly Patients with Gastric Cancer Who Undergo Gastrectomy.
Article in World journal of surgery, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 5 of them syntheses 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
backgroundDevelopment of laparoscopic gastrectomy and the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol enable early discharge to home of patients with gastric cancer (GC). However, a significant proportion of patients are still discharged to inpatient facilities after surgery. We aimed to identify predictive factors of non-home discharge in patients with GC who undergo gastrectomy.
methodsWe enrolled 517 patients with histopathologically confirmed diagnosis of GC who underwent gastrectomy.
resultsThe number of patients with non-home discharge was 23 (4.4%), and non-home discharge was only observed in patients with GC aged ≥65 years. Patients were divided into the mFI
conclusionsThe combination of mFI, postoperative complications, and surgical approach is useful for predicting non-home discharge in patients aged ≥65 years who underwent gastrectomy for GC.
