Survival benefits of additional surgery after non-curative endoscopic resection in patients with early gastric cancer: a meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Surgical endoscopy, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
backgroundThe survival benefit of additional surgery after non-curative endoscopic resection of early gastric cancer is a matter of debate. This meta-analysis is intended to draw a convincing conclusion on this issue based on data currently available.
methodsA systematic review of PubMed/Medline database was performed from 2010 to 2018 for studies comparing survival outcomes of additional surgery versus simple follow-up after non-curative endoscopic resection for early gastric cancer. Differences between groups were calculated using either the fixed effects model or random effects model.
resultsTen retrospective studies with 4225 patients met the inclusion criteria. Additional surgery significantly provided better 5 years overall survival [odds ratios (OR) 3.50, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) 2.89-4.24] and disease-specific survival (OR 3.99, 95% CI 2.50-6.36).
conclusionsAdditional surgery offers survival benefits to patients undergoing non-curative endoscopic resection of early gastric cancer.
