Comparison of early-term effects between totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy with delta-shaped anastomosis and conventional laparoscopic-assisted distal gastrectomy: a retrospective study.
Article in International journal of clinical and experimental medicine, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
objectiveTo compare early-term effects of totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy with delta-shaped anastomosis (D-STLDG) with conventional laparoscopic-assisted distal gastrectomy (LADG).
methodsClinical data of 24 patients who received D-STLDG from April 2013 to April 2014, and 45 patients who received LADG from March 2010 to December 2012 were retrospectively analyzed. The operative time, intra-operative blood loss, post-operative recovery time of intestinal function, post-operative pain, the length of post-operative hospital stay and the incidence of post-operative complications (infection, obstruction and delayed gastric emptying) were compared between the two groups.
resultsAll procedures were completed successfully and all patients of both groups were discharged smoothly from hospital. Compared with LADG, D-STLDG had shorter operative time (175.3±64.7 min vs. 205.8±42.2 min, P<0.05), less intra-operative blood (50.8±25.3 ml vs. 75.2±22.5 ml, P<0.05), shorter post-operative recovery time of intestinal function (1.2±0.5 d vs. 2.1±0.8 d, P<0.05), less post-operative pain (5.6±0.7 vs. 7.8±0.5, P<0.05), shorter post-operative hospital stay (8.5±2.2 d vs. 10.5±3.5 d, P<0.05). There were no significant difference in surgical margins achieved, the number of lymph nodes retrieved or the incidence of post-operative complications (infection, obstruction and delayed gastric emptying) (P>0.05).
conclusionThe delta-shaped anastomosis of reconstructing the digestive tract in TLDG appears to be safe, feasible and associated to faster recovery.
