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

backgroundSarcopenia and obesity are associated with outcomes after surgery. However, few studies have investigated which more accurately predicts postoperative complications or prognosis in patients with gastric cancer.

methodsA total of 567 consecutive patients with gastric cancer who underwent gastrectomy between 2010 and 2015 were retrospectively reviewed. Psoas muscle mass index (PMI) and visceral fat area (VFA) were measured by CT scan. Patients were divided into two groups based on PMI (PMI-H group: male ≥ 6.36 cm

resultsThe incidence of postoperative complications was significantly higher in the VFA-H group than in the VFA-L group (35.1% vs. 20.3%; P < 0.001), whereas there was no significant difference between the PMI-H and PMI-L groups. Multivariate analysis showed that PMI-L and VFA-H were independent risk factors for pneumonia (odds ratio, 4.49; P = 0.018) and intra-abdominal abscess (odds ratio, 5.19; P = 0.004), respectively. While there was no significant difference in RFS between the VFA-H and VFA-L groups, the PMI-L group showed significantly worse RFS than the PMI-H group (P < 0.001).

conclusionsPMI and VFA were useful predictive factors for postoperative pneumonia and intra-abdominal abscess, respectively. PMI might be a useful prognostic factor in patients with gastric cancer, but VFA is not.
