The impact of sarcopenia on short- and long-term outcomes of endoscopic submucosal dissection for early gastric cancer.

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
backgroundSarcopenia prevalence has increased in proportion to the aging population in Japan. We aimed to investigate the association between sarcopenia and clinical outcomes and the prognostic factors of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for early gastric cancer (EGC).
methodsThis retrospective study involved patients aged ≥ 65 years who had undergone gastric ESD for EGC at our institution between January 2009 and December 2019. Patients were divided into two groups, namely, a sarcopenia group (109 patients) and a non-sarcopenia group (658 patients), based on the skeletal muscle index and intramuscular adipose tissue content (IMAC). Clinicopathological features, ESD-related adverse events, and outcomes were then compared.
resultsIn the sarcopenia group, the mean age was higher, whereas performance and nutritional statuses were lower. There were no between-group differences in terms of treatment outcomes. Multivariate analyses (odds ratio [95% confidence interval (CI)]) indicated that a geriatric nutritional risk index score (GNRI) < 92 (2.12 [1.09-4.11], p = 0.03), anticoagulant therapy (1.76 [1.13-2.76], p = 0.01), tumor size ≥ 30 mm (2.09 [1.23-3.55], p = 0.01), and sarcopenia (1.90 [1.05-3.45], p = 0.03) were significantly associated with ESD-related adverse events. High Charlson comorbidity index, low prognostic nutritional index, low GNRI, and high IMAC were significantly associated with poor overall survival (OS). OS was significantly shorter in the sarcopenia group even after matching.
conclusionsPatients with sarcopenia had significantly more adverse events and shorter OS; therefore, evaluation of a patient's general condition, including sarcopenia, before ESD is important.
