Incidence and treatment of metachronous gastric cancer after proximal gastrectomy.
Article in Surgery today, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
background and purposeProximal gastrectomy (PG) is a widely accepted function-preserving surgical procedure; however, the incidence and treatment of metachronous gastric cancer (MGC) after PG have been the subject of a number of reports.
methodsWe collected data from 1576 consecutive patients who underwent gastrectomy for gastric cancer between January, 2003 and December, 2010, and analyzed the outcomes of 671 patients treated with PG or distal gastrectomy (DG) for cT1N0 disease. We also discuss the treatments for MGC.
resultsMGC was diagnosed within a median follow-up of 52.8 months after PG and DG in six (6.6%) and nine (1.8%) patients, respectively. The cumulative prevalence of MGC after PG was significantly higher than that after DG; P = 0.005. Univariate and multivariate analysis revealed male sex and PG as significant risk factors for MGC (P = 0.014 and P = 0.026, respectively). Five of the six patients who underwent PG were treated by endoscopic submucosal dissection.
conclusionsThe incidence of MGC after PG was significantly higher than that after DG. However, most of the MGCs that developed after PG could be treated by endoscopic submucosal dissection.
