Does Intraoperative Blood Loss Affect the Short-Term Outcomes and Prognosis of Gastric Cancer Patients After Gastrectomy? A Meta-Analysis.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Purpose: The purpose of the current meta-analysis was to analyze whether intraoperative blood loss (IBL) influenced the complications and prognosis of gastric cancer patients after gastrectomy. Methods: We systematically searched the PubMed, Embase and Cochrane library databases on November 29, 2021. The Newcastle-Ottawa scale was used to evaluate the quality of included studies. This meta-analysis uses RevMan 5.3 for data analysis. Results: A total of nine retrospective studies were included in this meta-analysis, involving 4653 patients. In terms of short-term outcomes, the Larger IBL group has a higher complication rate (OR = 1.94, 95% CI, 1.44 to 2.61, Conclusion: Larger IBL increased operation time and postoperative complications, and decreased OS and DFS of gastric cancer patients. Therefore, surgeons should be cautious about IBL during operation.
