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

purposeSeveral recent studies have evaluated the feasibility of the sentinel node (SN) concept for gastric cancer. The aim of our study was to investigate limited gastrectomy with SN basin dissection in SN navigation surgery (SNNS) for patients with early-gastric cancer located in the upper-third of the stomach.

methods147 patients received SNNS for early-gastric cancer at our institution. Of these, 26 patients diagnosed with early-gastric cancer < 4 cm in size and located in the upper-third of the stomach were retrospectively analyzed for the distribution of SN and SN basins.

resultsIn three of the 26 patients, lymph node metastasis was limited to the left gastric artery (LGA) basin. The breakdown of the basins were as follows: A single LGA basin, 19 cases; a non-single LGA basin, seven cases. A non-single LGA basin was significantly associated with the clinicopathological factors, such as tumor spread to the middle-third of the stomach, tumor location at the center of the greater curvature, and undifferentiated adenocarcinoma, compared to the single LGA basin group.

conclusionsOur data revealed that the distribution of the SN basins in early-gastric cancer measuring less than 4 cm in size and located in the upper-third of the stomach was significantly correlated with tumor spread, tumor location, and the pathological findings.
