Associations of radiological features of adipose tissues with postoperative complications and overall survival of gastric cancer patients.
Article in European radiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
objectivesTo evaluate the associations of the radiological features of subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) and visceral adipose tissue (VAT) with the postoperative complications and overall survival (OS) of patients undergoing laparoscopic radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer.
methodsOne hundred forty-two patients underwent laparoscopic radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer from February 2013 to May 2016. The radiological features of SAT and VAT were studied by preoperative computed tomography, and the relationships between the parameters of adipose tissues and the intraoperative and postoperative conditions and OS rate of patients were evaluated.
resultsA positive linear correlation was found between VAT area and operation duration, and a negative linear correlation was found between VAT density and intraoperative blood loss (p < 0.05 in both). VAT area was an independent risk factor for postoperative complications. VAT area and VAT density were independent risk factors for OS in gastric cancer.
conclusionsA high VAT area was an independent risk factor for postoperative complications of gastric cancer, whereas a low VAT area and high VAT density were independent risk factors for poor prognosis in terms of OS in gastric cancer. KEY POINTS: • A large visceral adipose tissue (VAT) area is an unfavourable factor affecting the outcomes of radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer. • Low VAT density may be more likely to cause intraoperative bleeding. • VAT area and VAT density were independent risk factors for the OS of patients with gastric cancer.
