Simple and reliable method for tumor localization during totally laparoscopic gastrectomy: intraoperative laparoscopic ultrasonography combined with tattooing.
Trial report in Gastric cancer : official journal of the International Gastric Cancer Association and the Japanese Gastric Cancer Association, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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
We have developed a new method to localize a tumor during totally laparoscopic gastrectomy that uses intraoperative laparoscopic ultrasonography combined with preoperative clipping and tattooing. One or 2 days before the surgery, endoscopic clipping was performed just proximal to the tumor, followed by tattooing with India ink at the clipping site. Examination by intraoperative laparoscopic ultrasonography was performed at the tattooed site to detect the clips. The resection line of the stomach was determined with use of the detected clips as a marker of the proximal margin of the tumor. This method was attempted in 14 patients who underwent totally laparoscopic gastrectomy, and the clips were successfully identified in all patients. The clips were visualized as several layers of a hyperechoic bar, which was termed a "ladder sign." The mean time from insertion of the laparoscopic probe to identification of the clips was 2 min. The ladder sign is an important finding in this method.
