Effect of gastrectomy with bursectomy on prognosis of gastric cancer: a meta-analysis.
Synthesis in World journal of gastroenterology, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 4 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
aimTo evaluate the effect of bursectomy on overall survival, recurrence-free survival and safety of patients with gastric cancer by performing a meta-analysis.
methodsA literature search was performed in PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library databases for clinical research that compared bursectomy with non-bursectomy published before October 2013. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were established and applied. Overall survival, recurrence-free survival, complications, hospital stay, operative time and blood loss were compared using hazard ratios (HRs), relative risks and weighted mean differences. Stata 12.0 software was used for statistical analysis.
resultsFour studies including 1130 patients were available for the analysis (430 in the bursectomy group, 700 in the non-bursectomy group). No statistically significant difference was observed in the rate of complications between the bursectomy group and the non-bursectomy group. Bursectomy did not have a significant effect (combined HR = 1.14, 95%CI: 0.88-1.47) on overall survival, and it was not a significant factor for recurrence-free survival (combined HR = 1.06, 95%CI: 0.82-1.37).
conclusionGastrectomy with bursectomy is not superior to non-bursectomy in terms of survival. Bursectomy is not recommended as a routine procedure for the surgical treatment of gastric cancer.
