Laparoscopic versus open wedge resection for gastrointestinal stromal tumors of the stomach: a meta-analysis.
Article in Wideochirurgia i inne techniki maloinwazyjne = Videosurgery and other miniinvasive techniques, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
introductionWith the rapid development of minimally invasive surgery, laparoscopic (LAP) wedge resection has become the first-choice treatment for primary gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) of the stomach.
aimTo investigate the safety and feasibility of LAP wedge resection and the choice of surgical treatment for GISTs of the stomach through a meta-analysis and systematic review. MATERIAL AND
methodsThe literature was widely searched for comparative studies on open (OPEN) and LAP wedge resection for GISTs published before April 2017. The articles were selected after quality assessment.
resultsTen reports met the inclusion criteria, with a total sample size of 485 cases. The operation time was similar between the 2 groups (weighted mean difference (WMD): 8.67 min, 95% confidence interval (CI): -8.60 to 25.94, p = 0.33). However, LAP resulted in less blood loss (WMD -32.20 ml, 95% CI: -56.15 to -8.26, p < 0.01), earlier time to flatus (WMD -1.48 days, 95% CI: -1.90 to -1.06, p < 0.01) and to an oral diet (WMD -1.50 days, 95% CI: -2.25 to -0.47, p < 0.01), shorter hospital stay (WMD -2.03 days, 95% CI: -2.68 to -1.38, p < 0.01), and a decreased overall complication rate (relative risk: 0.48, 95% CI: 0.25-0.89, p = 0.01) compared with OPEN. Moreover, long-term follow-up findings indicated no obvious difference between the 2 groups.
conclusionsThe use of LAP wedge resection for suitable cases is safe and feasible because it causes less blood loss and fewer overall complications and enables faster recovery.
