Learning curve of totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer: a single teaching hospital study.
Article in Wideochirurgia i inne techniki maloinwazyjne = Videosurgery and other miniinvasive techniques, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
introductionTotally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (TLDG) for gastric cancer has gradually gained popularity. However, the learning curve of TLDG is rarely reported.
aimTo determine the learning curve of TLDG for gastric cancer. MATERIAL AND
methodsWe retrospectively reviewed and analyzed the medical records of 80 patients with gastric cancer who underwent TLDG with lymph node dissection from January 2016 to December 2017. We divided the patients into four groups based on when they underwent TLDG: group A (cases 1-20), group B (cases 21-40), group C (cases 41-60), and group D (cases 61-80). Comparative analyses of clinical data, including clinicopathologic characteristics, operative data, and postoperative course, were performed for these groups.
resultsNo significant difference was observed between the groups in various clinicopathologic characteristics. Total operative time for group A (168.3 ±14.6 min) was significantly longer than for groups B (152.5 ±10.5 min), C (154.2 ±11.6 min), and D (155.3 ±10.8 min), but there was no significant difference between groups B, C, and D. Anastomosis time for group A (27.5 ±12.4 min) was significantly longer than for groups B (15.3 ±4.6 min), C (16.6 ±5.7 min), and D (15.4 ±4.5 min), but there was no significant difference between groups B, C, and D. Non-anastomosis time, estimated blood loss, retrieved lymph nodes, time to first flatus, time to first oral intake, and postoperative hospital stay and complications showed no difference between the four groups.
conclusionsAn experience of approximately 20 cases of TLDG was required to complete the learning curve.
