Risk of tuberculosis after endoscopic resection and gastrectomy in gastric cancer: nationwide population-based matched cohort study.
Article in Surgical endoscopy, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 investigate the association between gastrectomy and endoscopic resection for gastric cancer and the subsequent tuberculosis incidence.
methodsWe conducted a nationwide matched cohort study using data from the Korea National Health Insurance Service from 2013 to 2019. We created two cohorts: patients who underwent gastrectomy and those who had endoscopic resection. Each patient was matched 1:1 with an unexposed individual based on index year, age, sex, income, and various comorbidities. The primary outcome was the incidence of tuberculosis during the follow-up period.
resultsOur study comprised 90,886 gastrectomy patients and 46,759 endoscopic resection patients. The tuberculosis incidence was significantly higher in the gastrectomy group compared to its matched non-gastrectomy group (IRR 1.69, 95% CI 1.43-1.99, p < .001). In contrast, there was no significant difference in tuberculosis incidence between the endoscopic resection group and its matched non-resection group (IRR 0.95, 95% CI 0.75-1.19, p = 0.627). The Kaplan-Meier cumulative incidence also did not differ between the two groups. However, tuberculosis incidence significantly increased in the first year after endoscopic resection.
conclusionGastrectomy for gastric cancer is associated with a higher incidence of subsequent tuberculosis, while no significant association was observed for endoscopic resection. However, tuberculosis incidence increases significantly during the first year after endoscopic resection.
