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
Background: Radical gastrectomy is generally prefered for gastric cancer but has postoperative complications. The objectives of the study are to evaluate the effectiveness of three different models of preoperative counseling and postoperative follow-up care in patients who underwent radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer. Methods: In retrospective medical record analyses, patients received nurse-led preoperative counseling and postoperative follow-up care (NC cohort, Results: Patients had a postoperative intensive care unit (PICU) stay of 24 (26-22) h/patient and postoperative pain of 6 (6-5)/ patient. The frequencies of nausea, vomiting, medical intensive care unit admission(s), dizziness, length of PICU stay, and intensity of postoperative pain were lower among patients in the NC cohort, followed by those in the SC and RC cohorts. A higher number of patients in the RC cohort died when compared to the NC (25 [16%) vs 2 [2%], Conclusion: Patients who undergo radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer require healthcare professional-led preoperative counseling and postoperative aftercare. Nurse-led preoperative counseling and postoperative aftercare, could improve outcome measures in patients who underwent radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer.
