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

purposeDuodenal stump fistula (DSF) is a serious complication after gastrectomy for gastric cancer. Although risk evaluation and management of DSF were presented by some investigators, there was no technical attempt has been made to prevent DSF during laparoscopic gastrectomy until now.

methodsConsecutive 99 patients were enrolled from April 2014 to February 2016 in 2 institutes. All patients were performed laparoscopic gastrectomy for gastric cancer. After cutting of duodenal stump, laparoscopic reinforcement suture (LARS) commenced with continuous invagination method or interrupted method by barbed suture. Clinicopathologic features and postoperative outcomes were analyzed.

resultsFifty-six patients had comorbidity including 5 patients with duodenal ulcer. Most patients were performed distal gastrectomy with B-II, and 10 patients total gastrectomy with Roux en Y esophagojejunostomy. Although there were 2 esophagojejunostomy leakage and 1 artificial lesser curvature leakage, DSF did not occurred at all in this study. Mean operation time was 3 hours and mean LARS procedure time was 8 minutes.

conclusionLARS of duodenal stump can be considered as one of prevention methods of DSF during laparoscopic gastrectomy for gastric cancer. So this new technique will be necessary to appropriately evaluate by prospective randomized controlled trial in the future.
