Risk factors for serious postoperative complications following gastrectomy in super-elderly patients ≥85-years-old with gastric cancer: A National Clinical Database study in Japan.

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
Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the technical safety and feasibility of gastrectomy for super-elderly patients ≥85-y-old with gastric cancer and to clarify the risk factors for serious postoperative complications in these patients. Methods: Between 2017 and 2020, 10,203 patients who underwent distal gastrectomy (DG) and 2580 patients who underwent total gastrectomy (TG) were reviewed from the Japanese National Clinical Database. All possible preoperative factors were used to explore the risk factors for serious postoperative complications in the super-elderly patients with gastric cancer. Results: For DG, the operative mortality rate was 1.6% (162 patients), and the rate of serious postoperative complications was 7.8% (796 patients). Similarly, the mortality rate was 2.6% (67 patients), and the rate of serious complications was 11.3% (292 patients) for TG. Based on multivariate analysis, body mass index (≥25 kg/m Conclusions: The study findings suggest that gastrectomy for super-elderly gastric cancer patients is relatively safe and feasible. Surgeons need to pay special attention to physical status and past medical history than tumor factors for preventing serious postoperative complications in super-elderly gastric cancer patients.
