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

backgroundLaparoscopic total gastrectomy (LTG) is frequently performed for treating patients with gastric cancer; however, the absence of anastomotic techniques with greater superiority has impaired its popularization. We have compared two types of anastomotic techniques with regard to technical perspectives and clinical outcomes.

methodsWe reviewed 43 patients with gastric cancer who underwent LTG. Two types of anastomotic techniques have been applied after LTG-the trans-orally inserted anvil (OrVil™) and the reverse puncture device (RPD). Data on the type of anastomosis, blood loss, operation time, anastomosis time, location of tumors, distance between the top border of tumors and top resection margin, diameter of tumor, length of postoperative hospital stay, early and late postoperative complications, and total cost of surgical consumables were obtained by reviewing patient medical records and analyzed thereafter.

resultsWe included 32 men and 11 women (mean age 61 years). The loss to follow-up rate was 13.2%. The median survival time for the OrVil™ and RPD groups was 23 and 22 months, respectively. The total rate of complications was 9.3%. The difference in the anastomosis times between the groups was statistically significant. OrVil™ required more time than RPD and cost more than RPD.

conclusionsBoth the OrVil™ and RPD techniques showed good safety and applicability in LTG. RPD showed an advantage with regard to lesser operative complexity and lower cost.
