Clinical Outcomes of Gastric Cancer Patients Who Underwent Proximal or Total Gastrectomy: A Propensity Score-Matched Analysis.
Article in World journal of surgery, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 32 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
backgroundTotal gastrectomy (TG) and proximal gastrectomy (PG) are used to treat upper-third early gastric cancer. To date, no consensus has been reached regarding which procedure should be selected. The aim of this study was to validate the usefulness of preserving the stomach in early upper-third gastric cancer.
methodsBetween 2004 and 2013, 201 patients underwent PG or TG at our institution for treatment of upper-third early gastric cancer. According to the defined inclusion and exclusion criteria, 192 cases were enrolled in this study. One-to-one propensity score matching was performed to compare the outcomes between the two groups.
resultsThe operation time was shorter in the PG group. Although no significant difference was observed, the PG group had less bleeding and fewer postoperative complications. R0 resection rate was 100%, and no surgery-related deaths were observed. The frequencies of reflux symptoms and anastomotic stenosis were significantly higher in the PG group, but could be controlled by balloon dilation and drug therapy. The maintenance rates of body mass index and lean body mass were significantly higher in patients who underwent PG than TG. The total protein and serum albumin values were higher in the PG group than in the TG group and remained statistically superior.
conclusionPG group exhibited better perioperative performance. Furthermore, better nutritional results were obtained in the PG group. Although the late stenosis and reflux symptoms must be addressed, the PG is a preferable surgical procedure for the treatment of early proximal gastric cancer.
