Postgastrectomy follow-up in the West: evidence base, guidelines, and daily practice.
Review 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 24 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
Follow-up after gastrectomy for gastric cancer has several purposes, including management of side effects of surgery, oncological recurrence surveillance, psychological support, and data collection for research. How follow-up after gastrectomy, and especially recurrence surveillance, is performed differs immensely between different Western countries, despite guidelines from Western oncological organizations quite unanimously advocating symptom-driven surveillance, without scheduled cross-sectional imaging, endoscopies, or analysis of tumor markers. Given a complete lack of randomized data, the available body of observational data does not support intensive routine surveillance for recurrent disease. Moreover, studies of other cancers have shown a negative emotional impact of routine surveillance. There is an apparent need for randomized controlled trials to address the issue of optimized strategies for postgastrectomy recurrence surveillance.
