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

backgroundGastric cancer is a global health concern with varying clinical outcomes. This study aims to investigate the influence of preoperative Body Mass Index (BMI) on survival in patients who underwent curative resection for gastric cancer in Eastern India.

methodsData from a prospectively maintained Surgical Oncology database were analysed for patients who underwent curative resection for primary gastric adenocarcinoma between May 2016 and March 2022. Patients with incomplete data were excluded. Preoperative BMI was categorised into three groups: Underweight (< 18.5 kg/m

resultOf 162 patients, 145 met the inclusion criteria. Patients were predominantly male (68%) with middle or lower socioeconomic status. No significant differences amongst BMI groups were observed in performance score, tumour grade, clinical stage, or short-term outcomes. Postoperative complications and 30-day mortality were similar. However, underweight patients had poorer 4-year disease-free survival (DFS) compared to overweight/obese patients (14.3% vs. 39.7%, p = 0.03). Overweight/obese patients showed significantly better 4-year overall survival (OS) than underweight patients (47.8% vs. 20.4%, p = 0.03).

conclusionsIn Eastern Indian gastric cancer patients undergoing curative resection, preoperative higher BMI (overweight/obese) was associated with better long-term survival. Understanding these findings could guide tailored interventions to improve outcomes in this population.
