The Associations between Perioperative Blood Transfusion and Long-Term Outcomes after Stomach Cancer Surgery.
Article in Cancers, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
backgroundWhether perioperative packed red blood cell (pRBC) transfusion is associated with inferior long-term outcomes after stomach cancer surgery remains controversial.
methodsThis research used a retrospective cohort study. Patients with stage I~III stomach cancer undergoing tumor resection were collected at a tertiary medical center. Patient characteristics, surgical features and pathologic findings were gathered from an electronic medical chart review. The associations of perioperative pRBC transfusion with postoperative disease-free and overall survivals were evaluated using Cox regression analysis with an inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW). Restricted cubic spline functions were employed to characterize dose-response relationships between the amount of transfusion and cancer outcomes after surgery.
resultsAmong the 569 patients, 160 (28.1%) received perioperative pRBC transfusion. Perioperative transfusion was associated with worse disease-free survival (IPTW adjusted HR: 1.42, 95% CI: 1.18-1.71,
conclusionsPerioperative pRBC transfusion was associated with worse disease-free and overall survival after stomach cancer surgery, and strategies aiming to minimize perioperative transfusion exposure should be further considered to reduce the potential risk.
