Intraoperative dissemination during gastrectomy for gastric cancer associated with serosal invasion.
Article in Surgery today, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
purposeFree cancer cells shed from the serosal surface of gastric cancer result in peritoneal dissemination. The aim of this study was to clarify the extent of tumor cell implantation due to surgical manipulation during gastrectomy.
methodsThe participants comprised 34 patients who underwent curative gastrectomy for gastric cancer with macroscopic serosal invasion. Two types of cytology were obtained from each patient: (1) cytology from the wound dressing material that covered the serosal invasion area during the operation (Covering Cy), and (2) cytology of the intraperitoneal wash samples (Lavage Cy).
resultThirteen patients showed no serosal invasion histopathologically, and all of these patients had negative results for both Lavage Cy and Covering Cy. Among the 21 patients with histopathologically confirmed serosal invasion, six had positive results for both Lavage Cy and Covering Cy, three showed positive findings for Covering Cy alone, one had positive Lavage Cy alone and 11 patients had negative results for both Lavage Cy and Covering Cy. Disseminated recurrence developed in 10 patients. Seven of the nine patients with positive Covering Cy developed disseminated recurrence, compared to three of 12 patients with negative Covering Cy. Positive Covering Cy findings were significantly associated with disseminated recurrence (p < 0.05).
conclusionWe demonstrated that the intraoperative dissemination of gastric cancer can occur during gastrectomy.
