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

AIM AND

objectivesThe purpose of this study was to describe the number, type and trajectory of symptom clusters during the perioperative period in patients with gastric cancer at four different time points. The study also aimed to identify the changes and consistency of these symptom clusters over time.

designThis was a longitudinal study.

methodsThis study was conducted in a tertiary cancer hospital with 205 patients with gastric cancer. The M.D. Anderson Symptom Inventory Gastrointestinal Cancer Module was used to assess the incidence and severity of symptom clusters. Exploratory factor analysis was used to extract symptom clusters.

resultsThe study identified four symptom clusters in patients with gastric cancer during the perioperative period: gastrointestinal symptom cluster, physical symptom cluster, psychological symptom cluster, and sleep disturbance symptom cluster. These clusters were observed across two to four time points.

conclusionThe findings of this study provide scientific evidence for medical staff and researchers to better understand the symptoms of patients with gastrointestinal cancer during the perioperative period. These findings can help develop individualized interventions for managing symptoms. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE: Gastric cancer patients suffered from various symptom clusters, which lasted from one day before surgery to one month after surgery. They should be given careful consideration by clinical staff.
