Randomized controlled trial of Roux-en-Y versus rho-shaped-Roux-en-Y reconstruction after distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer.
Trial report in World journal of surgery, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 main advantage of the Roux-en-Y (RY) operation is that it prevents bile and pancreatic juice from reaching the gastric mucosa, although the gastrojejunostomy may cause functional delayed gastric emptying (DGE), known as RY stasis syndrome. Rho-shaped Roux-en-Y reconstruction (rRY), an RY reconstruction with a rho-shaped anastomosis, is an established operation that has been found to be effective in preventing DGE.
methodsWe conducted the randomized trial of RY versus rRY reconstruction after gastric cancer resection. The primary endpoint was the frequency of DGE, and secondary endpoints were the length of postoperative hospital stay, morbidity, and nutritional status. Seventy patients were enrolled, with 35 in each group.
resultsThe incidences of postoperative mortality and morbidity did not differ significantly between the two groups. There were no significant differences in nutritional status between the two groups after discharge. Delayed gastric emptying occurred in two patients (6%) in the RY group and four patients (11%) in the rRY group (P = 0.67). Logistic regression analysis revealed that truncal vagotomy was significantly associated with DGE inhibition.
conclusionsOur findings showed that RY reconstruction after gastrectomy may be as simple and sufficient as conventional reconstruction.
