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

backgroundEsophagogastric anastomotic leakage is a common complication after esophageal cancer surgery. Therefore, how to treat and predict is the focus of clinicians' research.

aimsTo analyze the risk factors of cervical and intrathoracic anastomotic leakage after radical resection of esophageal cancer and establish a prediction model to provide a basis for early clinical prevention and treatment.

methodsWe retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 776 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients who underwent Sweet (n=115), Ivor-Lewis (n=278), and McKeown (left neck anastomosis) (n=383) esophagectomy at Yancheng First People's Hospital from August 2019 to December 2021. Univariate and logistic regression models were used to analyze the independent risk factors of anastomotic leakage after esophageal cancer surgery, and a nomogram prediction model was established.

resultsOf the 776 patients, 95 experienced postoperative anastomotic leakage, with an incidence of 12.2%. There were 63 cases of cervical anastomotic leakage and 32 cases of intrathoracic anastomotic leakage. The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that BMI, high blood pressure, chronic bronchitis, peptic ulcer, operation way, anastomotic location, and postoperative albumin were independent risk factors for postoperative anastomotic leakage of esophageal cancer (p < 0.05). Our nomogram prediction model yielded a high predictive value, with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.765 (95% CI 0.716-0.814).

conclusionThe occurrence of anastomotic leakage after esophageal cancer surgery is related to various factors, including BMI, hypertension, chronic bronchitis, peptic ulcer, operation way, anastomotic way, postoperative albumin, and anastomotic location. The clinical prediction model can promote the early detection, diagnosis, intervention, and treatment of anastomotic leakage and shorten the hospitalization time of patients.
