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

purposeThe development of sarcopenia after esophagectomy is reported to affect the outcomes of patients with esophageal cancer (EC); however, the characteristics of patients likely to be predisposed to postoperative sarcopenia have not been defined. This study explores the associations between preoperative respiratory function and surgery-induced sarcopenia in EC patients confirmed as nonsarcopenic preoperatively.

methodsThe subjects of this retrospective review were 128 nonsarcopenic patients who underwent esophagectomy for EC. We took body composition measurements and performed physical function tests 3 and 6 months postoperatively, to establish whether sarcopenia was present, according to the 2019 Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia guideline. We defined patients with surgery-induced sarcopenia as those with evidence of the development of sarcopenia within 6 months postoperatively or those with documented sarcopenia at 3 months but who could not be evaluated at 6 months.

resultsSurgery-induced sarcopenia developed in 19 of the 128 patients (14.8%), which correlated significantly with the preoperative %VC value (p < 0.01), but not with the preoperative FEV1.0% value. We set the lower quartile %VC value (91%) as the cut-off for predicting surgery-induced sarcopenia. A low %VC was independently associated with surgery-induced sarcopenia (odds ratio: 5.74; 95% confidence interval: 1.99-16.57; p < 0.01).

conclusionsBased on the findings of this study, %VC was a simple but valuable factor for predicting sarcopenia induced by esophagectomy.
