A systematic review of laparoscopic total gastrectomy for gastric cancer.
Synthesis in Gastric cancer : official journal of the International Gastric Cancer Association and the Japanese Gastric Cancer Association, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 24 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
backgroundLaparoscopic total gastrectomy (LTG) has been performed since 1999. Although surgical outcomes have been reported from Japan, Korea, China, and many Western countries, the effectiveness of this technique has not been conclusively established. This study therefore aimed to review the literature systematically.
methodsOur search of the research literature identified 150 studies, which were mostly retrospective and from single institutions.
resultsThere has recently been a remarkable increase in the number of studies from Korea, and the number of patients included in studies has increased since 2009. In most studies, the surgical procedures were longer, blood loss was reduced, and the number of retrieved lymph nodes was the same in the LTG group as in the open total gastrectomy group. The incidence of postoperative complications and that of inflammation during postoperative recovery were the same in these two groups.
conclusionsDuring LTG, the method used for esophagojejunostomy is important for surgical reliability and to reduce postoperative complications. There has been rapid development of new techniques from the level of esophagojejunostomy through a small skin incision to the high level of intracorporeal esophagojejunostomy using various techniques. A nationwide prospective phase II study is urgently needed to establish the value of LTG.
