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

backgroundCompared with open standard gastrectomy (OG), laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG) did not result in inferior disease-free survival for early-stage and locally advanced gastric cancer (AGC). However, whether LG for AGC in elderly patients is more beneficial than OG is unclear.

methodsThis study examined 458 patients with AGC. The mortality, morbidity, and prognosis were compared by age, gender, T and N factors, and pathological stage in the LG and OG groups using propensity score matching analysis. For the final analysis, 151 pairs of patients were selected from at each group.

resultsThe results showed that no significant difference in mortality and morbidity existed between the two groups. The 5-year relapse-free survival (RFS) rates were 70% and 62% in the LG and OG groups, respectively (p = 0.104). The 5-year RFS rates in patients with pathological stages I, II, and III who had undergone LG were 84%, 80%, and 55%, respectively, and 78%, 70%, and 45%, respectively, in those who had undergone OG (p < 0.005). The 5-year RFS rates in nonelderly patients who underwent LG or OG were 75% and 68%, respectively, and 58% and 40%, respectively, in elderly patients who underwent LG or OG (p < 0.005).

conclusionThe 5-year RFS rates in patients with AGC at each stage did not significantly differ between LG and OG. However, the benefits at 5-year RFS in patients who underwent LG compared with OG were larger in elderly patients than those in nonelderly patients.
