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

introductionEndoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) has been used for the treatment of gastric submucosal tumors (SMTs). This study aims to compare clinical outcomes of ESD versus laparoscopic wedge resection (LWR) for gastric SMTs.

methodsThis is a retrospective cohort study. Patients with SMTs who underwent ESD or LWR were enrolled in this study at a university-affiliated hospital from January 2010 to October 2015. Preoperative endoscopic ultrasound and computed tomography were performed to determine origin of layer and growth pattern. Clinical outcomes including baseline demographics, tumor size, operation time, blood loss, hospital stay, cost, pathology and postoperative complications were compared.

resultsFrom January 2010 to October 2015, 68 patients with SMTs received ESD and 47 patients with SMTs received LWR. There was no difference in age, gender, body mass index, origin of layer and proportion with symptoms between ESD group and LWR group. However, tumor size was significantly larger in the LWR group (37.1 mm) than in the ESD group (25.8 mm, P = 0.041). For patients with tumors smaller than 20 mm, ESD was associated with shorter mean operation time (89.7 ± 23.5 vs 117.6 ± 23.7 min, P = 0.043), less blood loss (4.9 ± 1.7 vs 72.3 ± 23.3 ml, P < 0.001), shorter length of hospital stay (3.6 ± 1.9 vs 6.9 ± 3.7 days, P = 0.024) and lower cost (2471 ± 573 vs 4498 ± 1257 dollars, P = 0.031) when compared with LWR. For patients with tumors between 20 mm and 50 mm, ESD was associated with shorter mean operation time (99.3 ± 27.8 vs 125.2 ± 31.5 min, P = 0.039), less blood loss (10.1 ± 5.3 vs 87.6 ± 31.3 ml, P < 0.001), shorter length of hospital stay (4.0 ± 1.7 vs 7.3 ± 4.5 days, P = 0.027) and lower cost (2783 ± 601 vs 4798 ± 1343 dollars, P = 0.033) when compared with LWR. There were no significant differences in terms of rates of en bloc resection, complete resection and complication and histological diagnosis regardless of tumor size.

conclusionsESD can achieve similar oncological outcomes when compared with surgery for treatment of gastric SMT smaller than 50 mm.
