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

backgroundRecent retrospective studies have shown that increased intraoperative blood loss (IBL) during curative gastrectomy for patients with advanced gastric cancer is a negative prognostic indicator for recurrence. However, there are no reliable reports assessing this with a large-scale prospective cohort. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of IBL on long-term outcomes using data from the JCOG1001 phase III trial, which was designed to determine if bursectomy led to improved survival vs. nonbursectomy in patients with cT3/4a gastric cancer.

methodsThis study included 1203 of the 1204 patients enrolled in the JCOG1001. From the tertiles of IBL (196 ml, 400 ml), we divided the patients into three groups: IBL < 200 ml representing small blood loss (SBL, n = 404), 200 ml ≤ IBL < 400 ml representing medium blood loss (MBL, n = 393), and IBL ≥ 400 ml representing large blood loss (LBL, n = 406). The impact of IBL on relapse-free survival (RFS) was evaluated with univariable comparisons and multivariable Cox regression analyses.

resultsThree-year RFS after SBL, MBL, and LBL was 81.7%, 74.8%, and 70.6%, respectively. Multivariable analysis identified IBL, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status, pT, pN, and postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy as independent predictors of RFS. Compared with SBL as a reference, the hazard ratios of MBL and LBL were 1.461 (P = 0.012) and 1.520 (P = 0.009), respectively.

conclusionsBased on the analysis of data from a large-scale prospective study, an IBL of ≥ 200 ml after curative surgery for patients with cT3/4a gastric cancer was an independent predictor of reduced RFS.
