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

purposeThis study examined the impact of abdominal aortic calcification, a known risk factor for cardiovascular disease, on the prognosis of patients undergoing radical surgery for gastric cancer.

methodsThe effects of abdominal aortic calcification on clinical outcomes, prognosis, and recurrence patterns were analyzed in 516 patients who underwent radical surgery for gastric cancer between 2010 and 2017.

resultsAfter propensity score matching, patients with higher abdominal aortic calcification had significantly poorer overall survival (OS; P = 0.020), disease specific survival (DSS; P = 0.013), and recurrence-free survival (RFS; P = 0.017) than those with lower calcification levels. Multivariate Cox regression analysis identified a higher degree of abdominal aortic calcification as an independent risk factor for poor OS (hazard ratio, 2.57; 95% confidence interval, 1.56-4.22; P < 0.001), DSS (hazard ratio, 4.32; 95% confidence interval, 1.84-10.12; P < 0.001) and RFS (hazard ratio, 2.63; 95% confidence interval, 1.60-4.33; P < 0.001). High abdominal aortic calcification was also a risk factor for peritoneal dissemination recurrence in gastric cancer.

conclusionA high degree of abdominal aortic calcification was linked to poor prognosis and might increase peritoneal dissemination recurrence following curative resection for gastric cancer. Thus, abdominal aortic calcification may serve as a novel clinical tool for predicting the prognosis of patients with gastric cancer.
