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

backgroundThe aim of the study is to present the clockwise, modularized lymphadenectomy model of laparoscopic gastrectomy for gastric cancer patients, which is based on our clinical practice experience in laparoscopic gastric cancer surgery.

methodsFrom Jan 2015 to July 2017, 116 patients who underwent laparoscopic gastrectomy were retrospectively collected and analyzed. According to the different resection models, patients were divided into two groups: traditional laparoscopic lymphadenectomy group (63 patients) and clockwise, modularized lymphadenectomy group (53 patients). Operation-related parameters were compared between the two groups.

resultsThe clockwise, modularized lymphadenectomy group had less dissection time (119.8 ± 19.1 min vs. 135.3 ± 23.8 min, p < 0.001) and less intraoperative blood loss (81.7 ± 42.9 ml vs. 91.4 ± 28.7 ml, p = 0.016) compared with the traditional laparoscopic lymphadenectomy group. Meanwhile, the clockwise, modularized lymphadenectomy group had more numbers of examined lymph nodes (40.5 ± 14.3 vs. 33.9 ± 11.0, p = 0.007) than the traditional laparoscopic lymphadenectomy group. Besides, there was no statistically significant difference in the postoperative complication rates between the two groups. The clockwise, modularized lymphadenectomy group had shorter postoperative hospital stay than the traditional laparoscopic lymphadenectomy group (8.7 ± 3.2 days vs. 10.4 ± 3.9 days, respectively, p < 0.001).

conclusionsThrough the adoption of the fixed sequence of lymphadenectomy, requirements and standard of lymphadenectomy of each lymph node station, and specific surgical skills for intraoperative exposure by the clockwise and modularized lymphadenectomy model, we can optimize and facilitate the laparoscopic gastric cancer surgery.
