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

BACKGROUND AND

objectiveThe role of additional gastrectomy after non-curative endoscopic resection remains uncertain. The present meta-analysis aimed to explore the risk factors for early-stage gastric-cancer patients after non-curative endoscopic resection and evaluate the efficacy of additional gastrectomy.

methodsRelevant studies that reported additional gastrectomy after non-curative endoscopic resection were comprehensively searched in MedLine, Web of Science and EMBASE. We first investigated the risk factors for residual tumor and lymph-node metastasis after non-curative endoscopic resection and then analysed the survival outcome, including 5-year overall survival (OS) and 5-year disease-free survival, of additional gastrectomy.

resultsTwenty-one studies comprising 4870 cases were included in the present study. We found that residual tumor was associated with larger tumor size (>3 cm) (odds ratio [OR] = 2.81,

conclusionsAdditional gastrectomy with lymph-node dissection might improve the survival of early-stage gastric-cancer patients after non-curative endoscopic resection. However, risk stratification should be performed to avoid excessive treatment.
