Early experience and learning curve of solo single-incision distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer: a review of consecutive 100 cases.
Article in Surgical endoscopy, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
backgroundSingle-incision distal gastrectomy (SIDG) is technically difficult due to limited range of motion and unstable field of view. Solo surgery using a passive scope holder may be the key in allowing SIDG to be safer and efficient. We report our initial 100 cases of, to what we know, the world's first solo SIDG, and calculate the learning curve.
methodsProspectively collected database of 100 patients clinically diagnosed as gastric cancer who underwent solo SIDG from October 2013 until July 2016 was analyzed. All the operations were held by a single surgeon with no assistants. A passive laparoscopic scope holder was used to fix the field of view.
resultsThe mean operation time was 120.6 ± 30.2 min, and the average estimated blood loss was 33.5 ± 55.7 ml. Average body mass index was 23.4 ± 2.9 kg/m
conclusionsSolo SIDG seems to be feasible and safe. The stable field of view created by a scope holder provides a favorable environment for a finer and more consistent operation. In addition, manpower can also be saved without affecting the quality of surgery.
