Circular versus linear stapling in esophagojejunostomy after laparoscopic total gastrectomy for gastric cancer: a propensity score-matched study.
Article in Langenbeck's archives of surgery, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
purposeWe used propensity score matching to compare the complication rates after laparoscopic total gastrectomy (LTG) with esophagojejunostomy (EJS) performed using a circular or a linear stapler.
methodsWe retrospectively enrolled all patients who underwent curative LTG between November 2004 and March 2016. Patients were categorized into the circular and linear groups according to the stapler type used for the subsequent EJS. Patients in the groups were matched using the following propensity score covariates: age, sex, body mass index, American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status, extent of lymph node dissection, and Japanese Classification of Gastric Carcinoma stage. Clinicopathological characteristics and surgical outcomes were compared.
resultsWe identified 66 propensity score-matched pairs among 379 patients who underwent LTG. There was no significant between-group difference in the median operative time, extent of lymph node dissection, number of lymph nodes resected, rate of conversion to open surgery, or number of surgeries performed by a surgeon certified by the Japanese Society of Endoscopic Surgery. In the circular and linear groups, the rate of all complications (Clavien-Dindo [CD] classification ≥ I; 21 vs. 26%, respectively; p = 0.538), complications more severe than CD grade III (14 vs. 14%, respectively; p = 1.000), and occurrence of EJS leakage and stenosis more severe than CD grade III (5 vs. 2%, p = 0.301; 9 vs. 8%, p = 0.753, respectively) were comparable.
conclusionsThere is no difference in the postoperative complication rate related to the type of stapler used for EJS after LTG.
