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

backgroundThere is controversy about the safety and outcomes of completion total gastrectomy (CTG) for gastric adenocarcinoma. We compared a cohort of patients who underwent CTG for gastric remnant cancer (GRC) after partial gastrectomy for benign disease with patients who underwent primary total gastrectomy (PTG) for sporadic gastric cancer.

methodsWe retrospectively reviewed a single-institution, prospectively maintained clinical database of patients who had undergone gastrectomy from 2005 to 2016 for demographic, surgical, clinical and tumour pathology data, as well as postoperative, pathologic and oncologic outcomes including complications, length of stay, disease-free survival and overall survival. We used the χ

resultsWe analyzed data for 64 patients (9 CTG, 55 PTG). The groups were equivalent at baseline and had similar operative, perioperative treatment and pathologic characteristics. After propensity matching, the reoperation rate for complications was higher after CTG than PTG (22% v. 0%,

conclusionOur findings suggest that CTG for gastric adenocarcinoma can be undertaken safely a priori with no additional risk of recurrence or death compared to PTG for sporadic gastric cancer.
