Preoperative Chronic Inflammation Is a Risk Factor for Postoperative Complications Independent of Body Composition in Gastric Cancer Patients Undergoing Radical Gastrectomy.

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
The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between preoperative inflammation and postoperative complications in gastric cancer patients having elective gastrectomy. Participants in this study were those who underwent radical gastrectomy between April 2008 and June 2018 and were diagnosed with stage I-III primary gastric cancer. Preoperative CRP values were used to divide the patients into two groups: the inflammation group comprised individuals having a CRP level of ≥0.5 mg/dL; the other was the non-inflammation group. The primary outcome was overall complications of Clavien-Dindo grade II or higher after surgery. Using propensity score matching to adjust for background, we compared the postoperative outcomes of the groups and conducted a multivariate analysis to identify risk variables for complications. Of 951 patients, 852 (89.6%) were in the non-inflammation group and 99 (10.4%) were in the inflammation group. After matching, both groups included 99 patients, and no significant differences in patient characteristics were observed between both groups. The inflammation group had a significantly greater total number of postoperative complications (
