A nomogram for predicting the recurrence of small bowel obstruction after gastrectomy in patients with gastric cancer.
Article in World journal of surgical oncology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundThis study aimed to create a nomogram for predicting the recurrence of small bowel obstruction (SBO) after gastrectomy in patients with gastric cancer (GC) in order to provide better guidance for its diagnosis and treatment.
methodsA total of 173 patients undergone gastrectomy and developed SBO from January 2015 to October 2022 were admitted into this case-control study. The risk factors of postoperative recurrent SBO were analyzed by univariate and multivariate regression, and a nomogram for predicting the recurrent SBO after gastrectomy was developed using R Studio.
resultsThirty-nine cases of postoperative recurrent SBO occurred among the 173 GC patients who underwent radical gastrectomy, and the percentage of recurrent SBO was 22.54% (39/173). Age [odds ratio (OR) = 0.938, p = 0.026], WBC count (OR = 1.547, p < 0.001), tumor size (OR = 1.383, p = 0.024), postoperative metastasis (OR = 11.792, p = 0.030), and the interval from gastrectomy to first SBO (OR = 1.057, p < 0.001) were all identified as independent risk factors for postoperative recurrent SBO by logistic regression analysis. The receiver operating characteristic curve, the calibration curve, the model consistency index, and the decision curve analysis showed that the nomogram had good predictive performance.
conclusionBased on these factors, we created a nomogram to predict the occurrence of postoperative recurrent SBO. This novel nomogram could serve as a crucial early warning indicator that would guide doctors to make informed decisions while managing patients with gastric cancer.
