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

BACKGROUND/

aimThis study aimed to investigate the effect of sex-related differences on surgical outcomes, postoperative complications, and prognosis in patients undergoing minimally invasive distal gastrectomy (MIDG) for gastric cancer (GC). PATIENTS AND

methodsWe retrospectively analyzed 988 patients who underwent MIDG for GC at five institutions between January 2018 and December 2024. The patients were categorized according to sex (male or female). To minimize selection bias, propensity score matching (PSM) was performed using the following covariates: age, body mass index, the American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status classification, surgical approach (laparoscopic or robotic), reconstruction method, adjuvant chemotherapy, clinical stage, postoperative complications (Clavien-Dindo classification: CD), and prognoses, including overall survival (OS), relapse-free survival (RFS), and Cancer-Specific Survival (CSS).

resultsEven after the PSM, male patients demonstrated significantly worse outcomes in surgical and long-term settings. Compared with the females, males had a longer median operation time (293 min

conclusionMale patients undergoing MIDG face significantly higher risks of postoperative complications and cancer recurrence than female patients, independent of baseline clinical and pathological factors.
