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

backgroundPalliative surgery is often considered for advanced stages of gastric cancer to reduce symptoms and improve quality of life; however, it is associated with considerable risks of postoperative complications and mortality. The aim of this study is to analyze the differences in severe complication rates and mortality between palliative and curative gastric cancer surgeries using data from a nationwide survey conducted by the Korean Gastric Cancer Association. MATERIALS AND

methodsData from 12,420 patients who underwent gastric cancer surgery in 2019 were analyzed. Surgical procedures were categorized as total gastrectomies (TGs), distal gastrectomies (DGs), or bypass operations. Patients were divided into curative gastrectomy (CG,

resultsCompared with the CG group, the PS group had significantly higher rates of severe complications (10.2% vs. 4.8%,

conclusionsPalliative gastric cancer surgeries are associated with significantly higher rates of severe complications and mortality than are curative surgeries. These findings emphasize the need for careful patient selection and thorough preoperative counseling when considering palliative gastric cancer surgery.
