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

purposeWith the aging population, the number of older adult patients undergoing endoscopic resections (ERs) for early gastric cancer (EGC) has increased. However, data on the long-term outcomes in these patients remain limited. We evaluated long- and short-term outcomes and identified factors associated with outcomes in older adult patients with EGC after ERs. MATERIALS AND

methodsData from older patients (aged ≥75 years) who underwent ERs for EGC between 2011 and 2019 were collected from the Korean National Health Insurance database. Baseline characteristics, clinical outcomes, and outcome-associated risk factors were investigated.

resultsIn total, 7,331 patients (mean age: 79.0 years) were included. During the 74.7-month median follow-up, 2,436 (33.2%) patients died, of whom 291 (4.0%) died of gastric cancer. The 3-, 5-, and 10-year overall survival rates were 91.3%, 82.1%, and 53.3%, respectively. The 3-, 5-, and 10-year cancer-specific survival rates were 98.3%, 96.9%, and 94.0%, respectively. Within 90 days after ER, 1,900 (25.9%) patients were readmitted, and 32 (0.4%) died. Risk factors associated with all-cause mortality were age ≥80 years, lower baseline hemoglobin level, higher baseline creatinine level, being underweight, current smoking, and a medical history of myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, dementia, or renal disease. A body mass index ≥25 kg/m² was associated with lower overall mortality.

conclusionsWhen deciding on ER for EGC in late-older adult patients (aged ≥75 years), incorporating risk factors may be useful for risk stratification and prognostic counseling.
