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

aimApplication of laparoscopic approaches for the treatment of remnant gastric cancers (RGC) is still controversial. Therefore, in the present study, the safety and effectiveness of laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG) for RGC was investigated.

methodsA total of 27 patients who underwent gastrectomy for RGC from June 2008 to September 2017 were enrolled in this study. A comprehensive review of the literature on LG for RGC published before December 2017 using the PubMed database was carried out.

resultsLaparoscopic gastrectomy was carried out in seven patients, and open gastrectomy (OG) was done in the remaining 20 patients. LG was associated with significantly less intraoperative blood loss (70 ± 71 vs. 1066 ± 1428 g;

conclusionThe clinical outcome of our patients with RGC and the literature indicated that a laparoscopic approach contributed to faster recovery after surgery than an open approach without sacrificing its radicality and was a safe and secure treatment option for RGC.
