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

introductionTo evaluate whether the extent of gastrectomy or the reconstruction method brings benefit of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) remission after gastrectomy in patients with gastric cancer.

methodsPUBMED, EMBASE, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) in The Cochrane Library were searched to find eligible studies published from inception to July 31, 2020.

resultsA total of nine studies (1424 patients) were included. At the first year and the end of follow-up time after gastrectomy, the total gastrectomy group had better T2DM remission than the subtotal gastrectomy group, and the Roux-en-Y reconstruction (R-Y) group had better T2DM remission compared with the non-R-Y group. There was no difference between R-Y and non-R-Y in terms of subtotal gastrectomy (OR 1.08, 95% CI 0.63-1.84, P = 0.78). However, total gastrectomy with R-Y had better T2DM remission than subtotal gastrectomy with R-Y (OR 2.75, 95% CI 1.19-6.35, P = 0.02).

conclusionTotal gastrectomy with R-Y had better T2DM remission. The extent of gastrectomy rather than the reconstruction method might play an important role in T2DM remission after gastrectomy in patients with gastric cancer.
