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

Objective: Microscopically positive resection margins (R1) in gastric cancer have been associated with poor outcomes, but evidence regarding its prognostic significance across different stages remains inconsistent. This study investigated the impact of R1 resection on survival outcomes and evaluated the prognostic significance of detailed pathological characteristics of margin involvement. Methods: This retrospective study analyzed 10,165 patients who underwent curative-intent gastrectomy for gastric cancer between 2007 and 2021. Propensity score matching was performed at a 1:3 ratio between R1 (n=45) and R0 (n=130) cases. For R1 margins, detailed pathological assessment included involvement length, proportion, depth, and histological features. Survival outcomes were evaluated across all stages, and the impact of subsequent resection was analyzed. Results: After propensity score matching, R1 resection showed significantly lower 5-year overall survival rates compared to R0 resection across all stages (stage I: 60.0% Conclusions: R1 resection significantly impairs survival across all stages of gastric cancer, with the extent and depth of microscopic involvement influencing prognosis. When R1 status is discovered postoperatively, subsequent resection should be considered to improve survival outcomes.
