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

backgroundThe incidence of gastric cancer in the elderly is increasing; however, standardized surgical approaches are lacking.

aimTo investigate the effects of radical surgery on the trauma response, postoperative complications, and long-term prognosis in elderly patients with gastric cancer.

methodsBetween January 2020 and December 2023, 110 gastric cancer patients admitted to the Department of Oncology Jiangnan University Medical Center were categorized into a control group (40 cases) and an observation group (70 cases) based on surgical method differences. The control and observation group received palliative surgery and radical surgery, respectively, and were further divided into open (25 cases) and laparoscopic (45 cases) surgery. Surgical outcomes, trauma indicators, complication rates, and long-term survival at 6 months, 1-, and 2-years were compared.

resultsLaparoscopic surgery showed superior surgical outcomes compared to the open surgery and control groups (

conclusionRadical surgery in elderly patients with gastric cancer reduces surgical trauma response, facilitates postoperative recovery, and improves long-term survival rates, albeit with an increased risk of complications. Laparoscopic radical surgery further minimizes postoperative trauma, with no significant difference in complication rates and survival prognosis compared with open radical surgery.
