Body Mass Index and Prognosis of Patients With Stage II/III Gastric Cancer After Curative Gastrectomy: Completion of Perioperative Adjuvant Chemotherapy May Be a Confounding Factor.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Objective: To investigate the association between body mass index (BMI) and overall survival (OS) of patients with stage II/III gastric cancer (GC) after radical gastrectomy, and evaluate the potential influence of perioperative adjuvant chemotherapy (PAC). Methods: Medical records of 2,510 consecutive stage II/III GC patients who underwent curative resection between November 2010 and December 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. The optimal cutoff value of BMI for OS was determined by X-tile. The independent predictive factors for completeness of PAC were identified using univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses. Cox regression analyses assessed the association among BMI, completeness of PAC, and OS. Results: Of the 2,510 patients, 813 cases with BMI < 20.3 kg/m Conclusions: Low preoperative BMI independently affects completion of PAC and prognosis of patients with stage II/III GC, but completing PAC can compensate for the adverse influence of low BMI on OS. Thus, strategies designed to ensure the completion of PAC, such as NAC and nutritional support, should be further investigated.
