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

backgroundThe incidence of remnant gastric cancer (RGC) after distal gastrectomy is 1-5%. However, as the survival rate of patients with gastric cancer improves due to early detection and treatment, more patients may develop RGC. There is no consensus on the surgical and postoperative management of RGC, and the clinicopathological characteristics correlated with the long-term outcomes remain unclear. Therefore, we investigated the clinicopathological factors associated with the long-term outcomes of RGC.

methodsWe included 65 consecutive patients who underwent gastrectomy for RGC from January 2000 to December 2015 at the Osaka Medical and Pharmaceutical University Hospital, Japan. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to create survival curves, and differences in survival were compared between the groups (clinical factors, pathological factors, and surgical factors) using the log-rank test. Multivariate analyses using the Cox proportional hazard model were used to identify factors associated with long-term survival.

resultsNo significant differences were noted in the survival rate based on clinical factors (age, body mass index, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, pulmonary complications, liver disease, diet, history of alcohol drinking, and history of smoking) or the type of remnant gastrectomy. Significant differences were noted in the survival rate based on pathological factors and surgical characteristics (intraoperative blood loss, operation time, and the number of positive lymph nodes). Multivariate analysis revealed that the T stage (hazard ratio, 5.593; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.183-26.452; p = 0.030) and venous invasion (hazard ratio, 3.351; 95% CI, 1.030-10.903; p = 0.045) were significant independent risk factors for long-term survival in patients who underwent radical resection for RGC.

conclusionsT stage and venous invasion are important prognostic factors of long-term survival after remnant gastrectomy for RGC and may be keys to managing and identifying therapeutic strategies for improving prognosis in RGC.
