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
backgroundReduced port laparoscopic surgery may lead to less pain and better cosmetic outcome than conventional surgery. Also, it requires fewer assistants and abdominal ports. Recently, some experts have reported operative techniques and outcomes of reduced port laparoscopic gastrectomy. In this study, we sought to introduce our techniques of duet laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (duet-LDG) using three abdominal ports and surgical outcomes of early experience of this procedure.
methodsBetween 2010 and 2014, 431 patients undergoing LDG for gastric carcinoma were retrospectively reviewed. Among them, 49 patients underwent duet-LDG. During duet-LDG, an operator performed all the procedures using two abdominal ports with an additional umbilical laparoscopy port. Short-term surgical outcomes of duet-LDG were compared with conventional LDG groups.
resultsThe mean age of the duet-LDG group was 61.1 years with 38 males and 11 females. Forty patients underwent Billroth II, and 9 patients underwent Roux-en-Y reconstruction. The mean operating time was 147 min, and the mean intraoperative blood loss was 49 ml. Duet-LDG was successfully completed without intraoperative complications or open conversion in all patients. After an operation, six patients (12.2 %) developed postoperative complications, and no mortality occurred. The mean hospital stay was 8.6 days. When compared with the conventional LDG groups, patients who underwent duet-LDG showed no significant differences in short-term surgical outcomes including morbidity, mortality, and the duration of hospital stay.
conclusionsDuet-LDG is a viable alternative to conventional LDG for treating early gastric carcinoma providing comparable surgical outcomes. Less operative pain and scar, reduced medical cost, and requiring fewer assistants may benefit patients as well as surgeons. Finally, the efficacy of duet-LDG needs to be evaluated in diverse clinical aspects.
