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

Endoscopic submucosal dissection as an organ sparing option for early gastric cancer is becoming increasingly accepted as an alternative to laparoscopic gastrectomy. Given the very limited North American data, we sought to compare outcomes between endoscopic and laparoscopic resection of gastric malignant and premalignant tumors. Patients undergoing laparoscopic gastrectomy or endoscopic submucosal dissection from 2007 to 2014 for adenocarcinoma or dysplasia at the McGill University Health Center were identified from a prospectively collected database and dichotomized according to the surgical approach. Patient demographics, tumor characteristics, stage, oncologic outcome, length of stay, and postoperative complications were recorded. Of 155 patients with gastric cancer identified, 67 were treated by laparoscopic gastrectomy (n = 37) or endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) (n = 30). There were significantly more invasive lesions in the laparoscopic group and patients subject to ESD harbored more T1 lesions. No significant difference in the rate of R0 resection or overall complications was observed between the groups. Accordingly, length of stay was significantly shorter in the ESD group. There were no significant differences in terms of overall and disease-free survival. In selected patients, ESD is associated with improved short-term outcomes and provides an appropriate oncologic resection option in a North American patient cohort.
