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

purposeOsteoporosis leads to fragility fractures and is a major public health problem. We conducted this study to analyze the prevalence of and risk factors for osteoporosis after gastrectomy in older patients.

methodsThis multicenter prospective trial comprised older patients without recurrence of gastric cancer for > 3 years after curative surgery. The prevalence of osteoporosis was identified using the World Health Organization bone mineral density (BMD)-based definition. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify the risk factors for osteoporosis.

resultsBMD values were measured in 267 of the 271 enrolled patients. The prevalence of osteoporosis was 38.2% (men 24.0%; women 60%). Analysis using FRAX

conclusionsThe prevalence of osteoporosis in older patients after gastrectomy was 38.2%. Moreover, female sex, age, low body mass index after gastrectomy, and a history of fracture were risk factors significantly associated with osteoporosis. Thus, older patients undergoing gastrectomy should have proactive surveillance and receive treatment for osteoporosis.
