Does age of patients with gastrointestinal cancer impact postoperative physical function and quality of life? A prospective study using the new Japanese elderly standard.
Article in Journal of physical therapy science, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship among aging factors using the new Japanese elderly standard, early postoperative physical function, and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in patients with gastrointestinal cancer. [Participants and Methods] We studied 94 patients scheduled for elective surgery of gastrointestinal cancer: 53 males and 41 females aged 62.0 ± 12.1 years (mean ± SD). Patients were divided into three groups based on age at baseline: young (<65 years), pre-old (65-74 years), and old (≥75 years) groups. We measured body mass index, isometric knee extension force (IKEF), 6-minute walk test (6MWT), and Short-Form 36-Item Health Survey version 2 (SF-36) at baseline and 4 weeks after surgery. [Results] Patients 75 years or older had significantly lower IKEF and 6MWT compared to the other groups. Patients younger than 65 years had significantly greater scores on the mental health SF36 subscale 4 weeks after surgery compared to baseline. Comparatively, patients older than 75 years had significantly decreased mental health scores 4 weeks after surgery. [Conclusion] Based on the new Japanese elderly standard, advanced age appears to worsen the postoperative change of HRQOL in patients with gastrointestinal cancer.
