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

backgroundThere have been no comparative studies of open gastrojejunostomy (OGJ) and laparoscopic gastrojejunostomy (LGJ) in gastric cancer (GC) patients with gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) to explore both short- and long-term outcomes. The aim of this study was to compare the safety and feasibility of short-term oral intake as well as the long-term oncological outcome of OGJ and LGJ.

methodsThis was a retrospective study of 53 consecutive unresectable GC patients who underwent GJ for GOO in our institute. OGJ (n = 23) was performed between 2010 and 2012 and LGJ (n = 30) was performed between 2013 and 2015.

resultsWe found a higher rate of postoperative delayed gastric emptying in the OGJ group than in the LGJ group (26.1 vs 0%; P = 0.004). OGJ had more unfavorable results regarding the median time to resumption of oral feeding (4 vs 2 days; P < 0.001). Palliative LGJ did not offer survival benefit over OGJ in patients with unresectable GC with GOO.

conclusionLGJ is a useful and feasible alternative to OGJ regarding short-term outcomes.
