1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundStaging laparoscopy (SL) is considered useful for detecting peritoneal metastasis, a task that is difficult using conventional imaging modalities. However, indications for the procedure remain unclear, with differences evident across reports. The present study aimed to clarify the effectiveness and limitations of SL for patients with type 4 and large type 3 gastric cancer.

methodsWe included 88 patients with cM0, type 4 or large type 3 gastric cancer who underwent SL at the Shizuoka Cancer Center from August 2008 to June 2014, to determine the detection rate of peritoneal metastasis by SL. In addition, we calculated the false-negative rate of SL by recruiting patients who were diagnosed as P0 at SL and underwent laparotomy within 28 days after the SL.

resultsP0CY0, P0CY1, P1CY0, and P1CY1 were diagnosed in 41 (46.6 %), 15 (17.0 %), 15 (17.0 %), and 17 (19.3 %) patients, respectively. Accordingly, clinically non-evident peritoneal metastasis was found in 36.3 % of patients, and 53.4 % of patients were diagnosed with stage IV. In addition, 29 patients diagnosed as P0 at SL underwent laparotomy within 28 days after the SL. Among them, peritoneal metastasis was found in five patients. Thus, the false-negative rate was 17.2 % (5/29, 95 % CI 7.6-34.6 %).

conclusionsSL is useful for detecting previously unsuspected peritoneal metastasis and for avoiding unnecessary laparotomy, although the high false-negative rate cannot be ignored. Patients with cM0, type 4, and large type 3 gastric cancer are considered suitable candidates for SL.
