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/Aim: The relationship between gastric cancer and oral health has been reported in several studies. This study aimed to determine the relationship between the postoperative prognosis of gastric cancer and oral health using preoperative tooth loss as a simple index. Patients and Methods: We conducted a single-center retrospective cohort study. Patients were divided into two groups according to the number of tooth losses. The survival curve was constructed using the Kaplan-Meier method. We also performed univariate and multivariate analyses of overall survival based on Cox proportional hazard regression to determine prognostic factors. Results: A total of 191 patients were divided into two groups: those with seven or more tooth losses and those with less than seven tooth losses. The three-year overall survival rate was 71.5% in the group with seven or more tooth losses and 87.0% in the group with less than seven tooth losses. The group with seven or more tooth losses had a significantly lower overall survival rate compared to the group with less than seven tooth losses (p=0.0014). However, in multivariate analysis, tooth loss was not identified as an independent prognostic factor whereas age, clinical T stage, CEA level, and serum albumin level were independent poor prognostic factors. Conclusion: Preoperative tooth loss was not a prognostic factor for gastric cancer after gastrectomy, but tooth loss may be a simple and useful method for evaluating frailty in patients.
