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

Gastric cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related death worldwide. Surgery is the only curative therapy for localized gastric cancer, but the extent of regional lymphadenectomy has been a matter of considerable debate. Extended resections that are regarded as standard procedures in some Asian countries, including Japan and Korea, have not been shown to be as effective in Western countries. The extent of lymphadenectomy for advanced gastric cancer has been studied in many prospective randomized controlled trials. On the other hand, patients with early gastric cancer have an excellent survival rate (>90%) after radical surgery. Lymph node metastasis from early gastric cancer is relatively infrequent. Therefore, it might be practical to perform less invasive surgery for early gastric cancer. In this review article, we examine the evidence for lymph node dissection as radical surgery in advanced gastric cancer and the possibility of limited resection for early gastric cancer.
