Impact of Preoperative Handgrip Strength on Postoperative Outcome after Radical Gastrectomy for Gastric Cancer Patients.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
In this study, we investigated whether preoperative low-handgrip strength (HGS) defined by the Asian working group for sarcopenia could be a predictor of postoperative outcomes in patients with gastric cancer. A total of 327 patients who underwent radical gastrectomy for c-stage I-III primary gastric cancer with pre-operative HGS records were included. The cut-off values of HGS were defined as 28 kg for males and 18 kg for females, with values below and above the cut-off defined as low-HGS and high-HGS, respectively. The primary outcome was infectious complications. We compared the postoperative outcomes of the groups after adjusting for the background using propensity score matching. Of the 327 patients, 246 (75.2%) and 81 (24.8%) were in the high and low-HGS groups, respectively. After adjusting for background, there were 57 patients in both groups. After matching, the low-HGS group had significantly more infectious complications (17.5% vs. 1.8%,
