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

BACKGROUND/

aimThis study evaluated the influence of the body mass index (BMI) on outcomes of gastric cancer resection, with a specific focus on curative gastrectomy. PATIENTS AND

methodsA total of 756 patients who underwent gastric cancer resection, including 372 cases of curative gastrectomy, were analyzed. The impact of BMI on overall, systemic, and surgical complications, as well as on relaparotomy, perioperative mortality, and 5-year survival was examined.

resultsUnderweight (BMI <18.5 kg/m

conclusionBMI significantly influences the outcomes of gastric cancer resection, with underweight and obese patients demonstrating higher complication rates. Underweight status is also linked to poorer long-term survival in the broader gastric cancer population but not in curative resection cases.
