The value of staging laparoscopy in gastric cancer.
Review in Annals of gastroenterology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Treatment options for patients with gastric cancer (GC) are based on tumor staging and resectability. Although only surgery provides improved survival, resection is contraindicated and should be avoided in the presence of intra-abdominal disease stage M1 (liver, peritoneal, or non-local lymph node metastases). Thus, a detailed and precise evaluation is imperative for optimal treatment. Staging laparoscopy (SL) constitutes a major tool in the accurate diagnosis of several types of cancers, including GC. SL presents several critical advantages: it can diagnose intra-abdominal disease; serve as a complement to other imaging studies; allow for biopsies; facilitate intraoperative ultrasound evaluations; allow for sampling of peritoneal fluid for cytological examination; and serve as an option for the administration of intraperitoneal chemotherapy. Although considered and advocated as a very useful asset in the pre-treatment cancer-staging arsenal, the wider application of SL has been long debated. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the contribution of laparoscopy to GC staging.
