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/

aimGastric cancer surgery is still characterised by high morbidity and mortality. However, in 2018 an online platform, GASTRODATA has been proposed in Europe to standardize the recording of gastric surgery complications. The aim of the study was to present a single center experience regarding incidence and grading of acute postoperative complications in a population of patients treated surgically for gastric cancer on the basis of the gastrodata online platform. PATIENTS AND

methodsThe present study was a single center, observational, retrospective trial held in the General Surgery Unit of the Sant'Andrea Hospital of Rome. The study included 181 consecutive patients who underwent gastric surgical resection for cancer from May 2004 to December 2020 with curative R0 purpose.

resultsThirty-three percent of patients reported at least one complication, while seventeen percent of the whole population reported a complication classified as at least grade 3 on the Clavien Dindo Classification. The most frequent complications were disorders of the respiratory system (13.3%), followed by bleeding (7.6%) and wound infections (6.2%). Deaths accounted for 3.7% of the population.

conclusionA list of defined complications of gastrectomy, if systematically adopted in the Literature, could lead to a reduction in the wide variation of proposals for treatment and assessment. Objectively evaluating the impact of complications on outcomes can lead to quality improvement project proposals.
