International Comparison of Geriatric-Associated Variables in Major Gastroenterological Surgery Between National Clinical Database and American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program.
Article in Annals of gastroenterological surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Backgrounds: Incidence of malignant disease in older patients has been increasing. These geriatric patients have more comorbidities and frailty than younger patients, necessitating different approaches in evaluation and treatment. Geriatric surgery studies in Japan have followed those conducted in the US. The aims of this study were to compare trends in geriatric variables for patients who underwent gastroenterological surgeries between two countries, and to elucidate the characteristics of them. Study Design: Geriatric variables and outcomes were analyzed via nationwide databases in both countries. Subjects were defined as patients with age ≥ 65 who underwent seven major gastroenterological surgeries for malignant disease. Basic statistical values were compared between them. Results: A total of 2703 patients in the National Clinical Database (NCD) and 1342 patients in the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) were included. Among preoperative comorbidities, dyspnea, hypertension, bleeding disorder, and emergency cases increased with age in both databases, while the rates of obesity and emergency cases were more frequent in NSQIP. Most postoperative complications were not significantly associated with age in either database. Geriatric-associated preoperative variables and outcomes varied with age in both countries. Cognitive variables (history of dementia, surrogate-signed consent, and delirium) were similar between the two databases. However, mobility elements (use of mobility aid, fall history, high fall risk, and new use of mobility aid) and postoperative functional dependency were more frequent in NSQIP than NCD. Conclusion: Geriatric-associated variables and outcomes changed similarly with age in both countries, while mobility and function were different between the two.
