Comparison of Early Postoperative Outcomes after Total Gastrectomy and D2 Lymph Node Dissection with and without Splenectomy.
Article in Euroasian journal of hepato-gastroenterology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundA famous prognostic ingredient for gastric cancer is the lymph node metastasis. Previously in the therapy of gastric cancer, splenectomy was considered as a definitive part of lymph node dissection. Currently, preservation of the spleen is the accepted approach during total gastrectomy and routine splenectomy is abandoned. The aim of this study was to estimate the impression of splenectomy for D2 lymph node dissection with total gastrectomy. METHODOLOGY: Between February 1998 and January 2012, 1531 patients underwent gastric cancer surgery. Of these 257 patients, 205 patients underwent total gastrectomy with splenectomy, and the remaining 52 underwent a spleen-preserving total gastrectomy.
resultsNo statistical difference between these two groups in terms of age, gender, comorbidity, stage and American Society of Anesthesiologists score, surgical complications were detected. A significant difference was not seen in these groups with regard to postoperative mortality too.
conclusionEarly postoperative results were similar after TG ± splenectomy. Performing splenectomy did not increase the postoperative morbidity and mortality.
