Totally laparoscopic total gastrectomy using the overlap method; early outcomes of 50 consecutive cases.
Article in Surgical endoscopy, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
backgroundConstruction of an esophagojejunostomy is still a challenging procedure in totally laparoscopic total gastrectomy (TLTG), and there is no standard anastomosing method. The aims of this study were to describe our TLTG with the overlap method using a linear stapler and report surgical outcomes.
methodsFrom January 2015 to April 2016, 50 patients underwent TLTG using the overlap method for gastric cancer. The procedures were performed by a single surgeon, and the patients' medical records were reviewed. Their clinicopathologic characteristics, operation time, date of flatus, hospital stay, morbidity, and mortality were analyzed.
resultsThe median age and body mass index were 56 years and 23.5, respectively. Stage 1A tumors were the most common. Mean operating time was 144.6 min, and no cases required changing to open laparotomy during surgery. On average, flatus occurred 3.5 days after surgery, and patients were discharged 6.8 days after surgery. No patient experienced anastomosis leakage, stricture, duodenal stump leakage, luminal bleeding, pancreatic fistula, or wound problems. There were two cases of intra-abdominal bleeding that required additional surgery. Intra-abdominal fluid collection and mechanical ileus occurred in two patients, respectively, and were successfully managed with conservative treatment.
conclusionsWe reported favorable surgical outcomes of TLTG using the overlap method. It is a feasible and safe option for treatment of gastric cancer.
