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

Background/Aims: To investigate the risk of metabolic syndrome and fatty liver diseases in gastric cancer survivors compared to non-cancer subjects. Methods: The data from the health screening registry of the Gangnam Severance Hospital from 2014-2019 was used. Ninety-one gastric cancer survivors and a propensity-score-matching 445 non-cancer subjects were analyzed. Gastric cancer survivors were divided into those with surgical treatment (OpGC, n=66) and non-surgical treatment (non-OpGC, n=25). Metabolic syndrome, fatty liver by ultrasonography, and metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) were assessed. Results: Metabolic syndrome was in 15.4% of gastric cancer survivors (OpGC; 13.6%, non-OpGC; 20.0%). Fatty liver by ultrasonography was in 35.2% in gastric cancer survivors (OpGC; 30.3%, non-OpGC: 48.0%). MAFLD was in 27.5% of gastric cancer survivor (OpGC; 21.2%, non-OpGC; 44.0%). After adjusting for age, sex, smoking, and alcohol, the risk of metabolic syndrome was lower in OpGC than in non-cancer subjects (OR, 0.372; 95% CI, 0.176-0.786, p=0.010). After adjusting, OpGC showed lower risks of fatty liver by ultrasonography (OR, 0.545; 95% CI, 0.306-0.970, p=0.039) and MAFLD (OR, 0.375; 95% CI, 0.197-0.711, p=0.003) than did non-cancer subjects. There were no significant differences in the risks of metabolic syndrome and fatty liver diseases between non-OpGC and non-cancer subjects. Conclusions: OpGC showed lower risks of metabolic syndrome, fatty liver by ultrasonography, and MAFLD than non-cancer subjects, but there were no significant differences in the risks between non-OpGC and non-cancer subjects. Further studies on metabolic syndrome and fatty liver diseases in gastric cancer survivors are warranted.
