E-PASS scoring system serves as a predictor of short- and long-term outcomes in gastric cancer surgery.
Article in Surgery today, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
purposesThis study aimed to evaluate the estimation of the physiological ability and surgical stress (E-PASS) scoring system for predicting the short- and long-term outcomes in gastric cancer (GC) surgery.
methodsWe analyzed a multi-institutional dataset to study patients who underwent gastrectomy with a curative intent between 2010 and 2014. This study evaluated the associations between the optimal E-PASS score cutoff value and the following outcomes: (1) the incidence of postoperative complications in stage I-III GC patients and (2) the prognosis in stage II-III GC patients.
resultsA total of 2495 GC patients were included. A cutoff value of 0.419 was determined using the ROC curve analysis. Postoperative complications were observed more frequently in the E-PASS-high group than that in the E-PASS-low group (30% vs. 17%, p < 0.0001). Among pStage II-III GC patients (n = 1009), the overall survival time of the E-PASS-high group was significantly shorter than that of the E-PASS-low group (hazard ratio 2.08; 95% confidence interval 1.64-2.65; p < 0.0001). A forest plot revealed that E-PASS-high was associated with a greater prognostic factor for overall survival in most subgroups.
conclusionsThe E-PASS scoring system may therefore be a useful predictor of the short- and long-term outcomes in patients with GC who have undergone radical gastrectomy.
