Long-term quality of life after laparoscopic distal gastrectomy for early gastric cancer: results of a prospective multi-institutional comparative trial.

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 aim of this study was to compare the postoperative health-related quality of life (HRQOL) between open and laparoscopic distal gastrectomy.
methodsA multi-institutional nonrandomized study was conducted. Patients with clinical T1 gastric cancer were prospectively enrolled and underwent distal gastrectomy by either the open or laparoscopic approach. HRQOL was measured using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer, Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30 and the site-specific module for gastric cancer. Questionnaires were completed at baseline and at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively. Clinicopathological characteristics and short-term outcome including postoperative morbidity and HRQOL were compared between the approaches.
resultsA total of 145 patients (open, n = 72; laparoscopic, n = 73) were enrolled between September 2008 and January 2011 and analyzed. The laparoscopic approach was associated with longer operating time, less blood loss, and a similar incidence of postoperative complications. At each time point, the questionnaires were retrieved from more than 90 % of the patients. The worst scores for most of the scales were observed at 1 month postoperatively and improved thereafter. No statistically significant differences were observed regarding physical functioning, the primary endpoint. On the other hand, role, emotional, cognitive, and social functioning scores were superior in the laparoscopic group at 6 and 12 months postoperatively. Symptom scales including fatigue, pain, eating restriction, taste problems, and anxiety were better in the laparoscopic group before 6 months but not at 12 months.
conclusionsThe study was considered to be negative because no benefit of the laparoscopic approach was observed in terms of physical functioning. However, more favorable scores for some of the symptom scales during the first 6 months and several functioning scales at 12 months after surgery suggest a potential benefit of the laparoscopic approach.
