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: The increasing prevalence of cardiovascular mortality is becoming a significant worry for individuals who have survived cancer. The aim of this study is to investigate the dynamic trend of cardiovascular death in patients with gastric cancer (GC) and identify the risk factors associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD)-specific mortality in non-metastatic GC patients. Methods: In the present study, 29,324 eligible patients diagnosed with primary GC were collected from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) adjusted by age, gender, calendar year, and race were calculated. Fine-Gray's competing risk models were taken to identify the prognostic factors of cardiovascular death in GC patients. Results: There were 1083 (5.2%) cardiovascular deaths among 20,857 patients with local/regional GC, and 76 (0.9%) cardiovascular deaths among 8,467 patients with metastatic GC. The SMRs of CVD-specific mortality continuously increased since the 1975s throughout the 2015s. The competing risk models showed that age (>75 years vs. 0-50 years, HR: 6.602, 95% CI: 4.356-10.006), T stage (T4 vs. T1, HR:0.524, 95% CI: 0.370-0.741), N stage (N3 vs. N0, HR: 0.557, 95% CI: 0.343-0.903), surgery (Yes vs. No, HR: 0.551, 95% CI: 0.461-0.659), and radiotherapy (Yes vs. No, HR: 1.011, 95% CI: 1.011-1.437) were predictive of CVD-specific mortality. Furthermore, based on the results of the competing risk analyses, a nomogram was constructed to predict the probability of CVD-specific mortality for local/regional GC patients. Conclusion: Our study demonstrated the dynamic trend of cardiovascular death in GC patients, and identified prognostic risk predictors, highlighting the importance cardio-oncology teams in offering comprehensive care and long-term follow-up for GC patients.
