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

purposeThe effect of a history of gastrectomy on patients undergoing hepatectomy is unclear. We investigated the relationship between postoperative complications of Clavien-Dindo grade III or higher and a history of gastrectomy in patients undergoing hepatectomy.

methodsThe subjects of this retrospective analysis were 474 consecutive patients who underwent hepatectomy at our institute for hepatic malignancy, classified into groups of those with or without a history of gastrectomy and those with or without postoperative complications. We compared the clinicopathological factors between the groups.

resultsThere were no hospital deaths. Gastrectomy history was identified in 22 patients (4.6%) and was significantly associated with advanced age, low body mass index, male sex, decreased serum albumin level, decreased hemoglobin level, low PNI, low CONUT score, high incidence of postoperative complications, and longer hospital stay. Multivariate analyses revealed that the independent risk factors for postoperative complications were gastrectomy history, an albumin-bilirubin score of 2/3, primary liver cancer, high serum creatinine level, advanced age, and prolonged operation time.

conclusionsGastrectomy history was an independent predictor of postoperative complications in patients undergoing hepatectomy for hepatic malignancies. Patients with a history of gastrectomy were likely to suffer postoperative bile leakage and pneumonia.
