Impact of pretreatment asymptomatic renal dysfunction on clinical course after esophagectomy.
Article in Surgery today, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
purposeRecent large-scale clinical studies have shown that preoperative renal insufficiency is associated with an increased risk of postoperative complications after esophagectomy; however, it remains unclear whether asymptomatic renal dysfunction affects the postoperative course after esophagectomy.
methodsThe subjects of this retrospective study were 177 patients who underwent esophagectomy between May, 2009 and December, 2018. Renal function was evaluated based on the pretreatment estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Patients were divided into two groups according to the eGFR cut-off value of 55 ml/min per 1.73 m
resultsThere were 17 patients in the low eGFR group and 160 patients in the normal group eGFR group. The rate of severe complications was significantly higher in the low eGFR than in the normal eGFR group. A low eGFR was the only significant complication risk factor identified; however, there were no marked differences in mortality or survival between the low and normal eGFR groups.
conclusionOur findings demonstrate that pretreatment asymptomatic renal dysfunction may be a significant risk factor for severe morbidity after esophagectomy.
