Relationship between psoas muscle index and long-term survival in older patients aged ≥ 80 years after endoscopic submucosal dissection for gastric cancer.
Article in International journal of clinical oncology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
backgroundIn Japan, endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) has been widely performed for ESD-adapted gastric cancer, but little is known about the prognostic factors after ESD for gastric cancer in older patients. The psoas muscle index (PMI) is an indicator of sarcopenia calculated from computed tomography images and reportedly related to the prognosis of some diseases. This study aimed to explore factors related to long-term survival after ESD for gastric cancer in patients aged ≥ 80 years.
methodsWe retrospectively reviewed 88 patients (63 men, 25 women) with early gastric cancer who underwent ESD at ≥ 80 years. Possible factors related to death after gastric ESD were analyzed by univariate and multivariate analyses using a Cox proportional hazards model. The estimated overall survival (OS) was compared between the groups stratified by significant factors.
resultsThe 5-year OS rate was 73.9% (median follow-up period, 5.4 years). In the multivariate analysis, a low PMI (< 6.36 in men, < 3.92 in women) (hazard ratio [HR] 2.89, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.11-7.54) and high Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) (≥ 3) (HR 1.87, 95% CI 1.14-3.09) were independently related to death after ESD. The 5-year OS rates were significantly higher in the high PMI group (82.3% vs. 70.7%, P = 0.026) and the low CCI group (76.0% vs. 37.9%, P = 0.002).
conclusionIn addition to low CCI, high PMI is a predictor of long-term survival after ESD for gastric cancer in patients aged ≥ 80 years.
