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

backgroundAccurate prediction of postoperative complications is especially important for the formulation of treatment plans for patients with total gastrectomy (TG) for gastric cancer (GC). The purpose of this study was to establish a risk assessment model for early postoperative complications.

methodsThis retrospective study involved 363 patients with GC who underwent TG from January 2019 to December 2020. The influencing factors were explored by univariate and multivariable logistic regression; then, a nomogram was established and verified by internal verification.

resultsLinear stapler (OR=2.501, P=0.030), age (OR=1.052, P =0.024), blood transfusion (yes) (OR=2.450, P =0.021), one-time consumables for surgery (or=1.000, P =0.022), number of total lymph nodes (OR=1.060, P =0.011) and number of positive lymph nodes (OR=1.054, P =0.029) were independent risk factors for early postoperative complications in TG, and nomogram model was constructed. The C-index of primary cohort, modeling cohort and validation cohort was 0.787, 0.754 and 0.912. The calibration curves showed good accuracy.

conclusionThis study used the indicators available before and during surgery to establish a nomogram model for early postoperative complications of total gastrectomy for gastric cancer, which found that linear stapler (LS), blood transfusion, one-time consumables for surgery, number of total lymph nodes and number of positive lymph nodes were factors.
