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

objectiveTo investigate the factors influencing inadequate enteral nutrition (EN) after radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer and its impact on clinical outcomes.

methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on 212 gastric cancer patients who underwent radical surgery and received EN at the Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University. Patients were divided into two groups based on whether they achieved 60% of their caloric needs by the sixth postoperative day. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were used to identify factors associated with inadequate EN.

resultsInadequate EN was observed in 26.89% of the patients. Key factors associated with insufficient EN included delayed initiation of nutrition, increased intra-abdominal and central venous pressures, use of sedatives, and delayed early mobility (all P<0.05). Patients with inadequate EN had longer hospital stays, delayed bowel recovery, higher postoperative complication rates, and lower overall and disease-free survival rates (all P<0.05).

conclusionInadequate enteral nutrition is an independent risk factor for poor clinical outcomes in gastric cancer patients after radical gastrectomy. Early and adequate nutritional support is essential to improve recovery and long-term survival.
