Sentinel Node Navigation in Gastric Cancer: Where Do We Stand?
Review in Journal of gastrointestinal cancer, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
backgroundEarly gastric cancer (EGC) is more common nowadays and is related a to low percentage of lymph node metastasis. For this reason, there is enormous interest to implicate minimally invasive approaches. Recently, special efforts have been made towards a potential intraoperative (real-time) lymph node metastasis (LNM) assessment, as nodal disease status could not be identified with precision before or during surgery. In this direction, accurate prediction of the LNM status through sentinel LN mapping has been attempted, as an approach to the intraoperative detection of sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs). A careful literature search was conducted in order to clarify the potential clinical application of SN biopsy in the gastric cancer field.
conclusionThe real clinical application of SN biopsy in gastric cancer treatment has been more than challenging due to the "complicated" nature of gastric lymphatic drainage and the high possibility of "skip" metastasis phenomenon. Notably, sophisticated technical aspects, such as the preferred tracer used and the potential "ideal" method to verify the presence of metastases in the resected SLNs, made SN biopsy application in gastric cancer field extremely demanding. Assessing the potential role of SN navigation for gastric cancer treatment in the era of advanced technology, where the minimally invasive surgical approaches are in the top of the scientific interest, it has to be highlighted that SN navigation for gastric cancer is a topic that remains highly controversial, and the need for future clinical trials on this topic is obvious.
