Analysis of risk factors affecting long-term survival in elderly patients with advanced gastric cancer.
Article in Aging clinical and experimental research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundFactors predicting postoperative complications after gastrectomy for elderly patients with gastric cancer have been analyzed in several previous studies. However, there is limited research available on risk factors related to long-term survival.
aimsThis study aimed to analyze factors affecting long-term survival after curative gastrectomy in elderly patients with advanced gastric cancer.
methodsThis study included patients aged > 75 years with histologically confirmed advanced gastric cancer stage II or greater. Before analysis, risk factors were categorized into four groups: baseline characteristics, underlying diseases, surgical and pathologic factors, and nutritional factors.
resultsThe mean follow-up duration was 71.0 months. The 5-year overall survival and disease-specific survival rates were 51.5% and 58.3%, respectively. Kaplan-Meier curves showed that patients who were female and overweight had significantly longer survival rates than those who were male and underweight. Elderly patients who underwent a total gastrectomy had poorer survival rates than those who underwent a distal gastrectomy. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that tumor stage, extent of gastrectomy, overweight status and overall complication were independent risk factors for overall survival. DISCUSSION: Our study show that the overweight patients, the extent of gastrectomy, tumor stage and overall complications are significant risk factors affecting long-term survival.
conclusionsTherefore, surgeons may be cautious in performing total gastrectomy in elderly gastric cancer patients. Additionally, it is important to focus on improving nutritional status and mitigating overall complications.
