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

backgroundThe current study aimed to investigate the relationship between muscle mass proportion and the incidence of total complications in male gastric cancer (GC) patients after minimally invasive distal gastrectomy (MIDG).

methodsBetween March 2017 and March 2020, 152 male GC patients with clinical stage III or lower GC who underwent MIDG were enrolled in this study. The muscle mass ratio (MMR) was calculated by dividing the total muscle weight obtained from bioelectrical impedance analysis by the whole-body weight. Thereafter, the association between MMR and surgical outcomes was determined.

resultsBased on the optimal MMR cutoff value of 0.712 obtained using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, patients were divided into two groups (69 and 83 patients in the MMR-L and MMR-H groups). The MMR-L group had a significantly higher total complication rate compared to the MMR-H group (MMR-L, 24.6% vs. MMR-H, 7.2%; P = 0.005). Multivariate analysis also identified MMR-L as a significant independent risk factor for total complications and intra-abdominal infectious complications after MIDG.

conclusionsThe MMR calculated using bioelectrical impedance analysis can be a useful predictor for postoperative complications after MIDG in male GC patients.
