Aorta Calcification Increases the Risk of Anastomotic Leakage After Gastrectomy in Gastric Cancer Patients.
Article in Cancer management and research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
purposeThe purpose of the present study was to evaluate whether vascular calcification is a risk factor for anastomotic leakage after gastrectomy in gastric cancer patients.
methodsPatients with confirmed gastric cancer were collected from the database of a single clinical center from January 2013 to January 2019. The calcification score and anastomotic leakage were recorded, and predictors of anastomotic leakage were analyzed.
resultsA total of 856 patients were included in this study; 818 patients had no anastomotic leakage, and 38 patients had anastomotic leakage. The ratio of hypertension status (p=0.011), open gastrectomy (p=0.012), postoperative length of stay (p=0.000), aorta calcification score (p=0.000) and celiac axis calcification (p=0.000) were higher in the anastomotic leakage group than in the nonanastomotic leakage group. In multivariate analysis, aorta calcification (p=0.029, odds ratio =2.425, 95% CI=1.095-5.491) was an independent predictor of the anastomotic leakage.
conclusionAorta calcification is an independent risk factor for anastomotic leakage after gastrectomy in gastric cancer patients.
