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

backgroundGastric cancer is the fifth most common cancer in the world and the fourth leading cause of deaths in oncology.

aimsThe aim of this study was to investigate the factors that affect the survival of patients with gastric adenocarcinoma undergoing gastrectomy in a tertiary center in South Brazil.

methodsThis was a cross-sectional, observational, and retrospective study of 82 patients with gastric adenocarcinoma who underwent surgical treatment from January 2018 to August 2022. Epidemiological and prognostic factors were analyzed, such as age, sex, tumor location in the stomach, lymph node invasion, tumor extension, angiolymphatic invasion, tumor differentiation, presence of distant metastasis, compromised surgical margins, adjuvant or neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and patient survival time.

resultsOf the 82 patients, 41.5% died during the follow-up period, with a maximum follow-up period of 56 months. The median time to death was 22.4 months after performing the gastrectomy. Advanced age (hazard ratio [HR]=2.76; p=0.014, p<0.05), location of the tumor in the fundus of the stomach (HR=2.77; p=0.020, p>0.05), and presence of distant metastasis (HR=2.13; p=0.039) showed a significant negative impact on survival in the multivariate analysis. On the other hand, patients undergoing adjuvant (HR=5.33; p=0.001, p<0.05) or neoadjuvant (HR=3.36; p=0.006, p<0.05) chemotherapy had a positive impact.

conclusionsThe present study demonstrated that survival in patients with gastric adenocarcinoma is negatively influenced by advanced age, tumor location in the fundus of the stomach, and the presence of distant metastases, in contrast to the positive impact of performing adjuvant or neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
