Postoperative complications and open gastrectomy affect non-cancer-related death and shorten life expectancy in elderly patients with gastric cancer.
Article in American journal of cancer research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Postoperative complications contribute to recurrences and poor long-term outcomes for gastric cancer patients, especially among the elderly. However, the prognostic effect of postoperative complications on non-cancer-related death in elderly patients with gastric cancer has not been reported. Two hundred and twenty elderly (> 75 years of age) patients with stage I gastric cancer were retrospectively identified from consecutive admissions between 1995 and 2020. Non-cancer-related death following gastrectomy occurred in 13.6% (30/220) of patients. Non-cancer-related death was associated with respiratory disease in 46.7% (14/30) of cases. Although there was no association with any preoperative comorbidities, postoperative complications [
