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

backgroundGastric cancer remains a significant global health concern. Radical gastrectomy is the primary curative treatment. Diabetes mellitus is a common comorbidity in patients undergoing surgery for gastric cancer, including radical gastrectomy. Previous studies have suggested that diabetes can negatively affect postoperative outcomes, such as wound healing, infection rates, and overall recovery. However, the specific impact of diabetes on recovery after radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer remains poorly understood. evaluate the influence of diabetes on postoperative recovery, including hospital stay duration, complications, and readmission rates, in patients undergoing gastrectomy for gastric cancer. Understanding these effects could help optimize perioperative management and improve patient outcomes.

aimTo investigate the impact of diabetes on recovery after radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer and associated postoperative outcomes.

methodsThis retrospective cohort study was performed at the Endocrinology Department of Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China. We examined patients who underwent radical gastrectomy for cancer between January 2010 and December 2020. The patients were divided into the diabetes and non-diabetes groups. The main outcomes included length of hospital stay, postoperative complications, and 30-day readmission rate. Secondary outcomes included quality of life indicators. Propensity score matching was used to adjust for potential confounding factors.

resultsA total of 1210 patients were included in the study, with 302 diabetic patients and 908 non-diabetic patients. After propensity score matching, 280 patients were included in each group. Diabetic patients demonstrated significantly longer hospital stays (mean difference 2.3 days, 95%CI: 1.7-2.9,

conclusionPatients with diabetes mellitus undergoing radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer experience prolonged hospital stay, increased postoperative complications, and higher readmission rates, thus requiring optimized perioperative management strategies.
