Gastric tube reconstruction reduces postoperative gastroesophageal reflux in adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction.
Trial report in Digestive diseases and sciences, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 32 papers, 3 of them syntheses 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 anastomosis of gastric remnant to esophagus after proximal gastrectomy is the traditional surgical treatment procedure for patients with types II and III adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction. However, the postoperative complications such as gastroesophageal reflux are frequent.
aimsTo assess the outcome of the intraperitoneal anastomosis of the reconstructed gastric tube to esophagus after proximal gastrectomy for types II and III adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction.
methodsSeventy-six consecutive patients with preoperative diagnosis of type II or type III adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction were recruited. Forty-one patients had the traditional anastomosis of gastric remnant to esophagus and 35 patients underwent an anastomosis of esophagus to a gastric tube that was constructed from the gastric remnant after proximal gastrectomy.
resultsTwenty-three (56.1%) versus 12 (28.6%) patients (p = 0.016) complained various discomforts and/or were diagnosed with complications in the traditional group and gastric tube group, respectively, although there were no significant differences between the two groups in demographic data and pathological characteristics. Fourteen (34.1%) versus five (14.3%) patients (p = 0.046) complained of heartburn or acid regurgitation and nine (22.0%) versus two (5.7%) patients (p = 0.045) were confirmed reflux esophagitis in the traditional group and the gastric tube group, respectively.
conclusionsThe intraperitoneal anastomosis of the reconstructed gastric tube to esophagus demonstrates less complaints of gastroesophageal reflux and reflux esophagitis than the traditional anastomosis of gastric remnant to esophagus in the surgical treatment of types II and III adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction in 1-year follow-up.
