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

introductionAlthough laparoscopic techniques are currently a recognized type of treatment of small stromal tumors (GISTs) of the stomach, their application in the case of larger tumors has been the subject of debate.

aimTo evaluate the technical feasibility, safety and early results of the laparoscopic treatment of large GISTs with a diameter of more than 5 cm. MATERIAL AND

methodsA retrospective analysis was performed using data on patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery for gastric GIST in the period from 2009 to 2016. The patients selected for the study were divided into two groups based on the diameter of the tumor: patients who developed a tumor with a diameter smaller than or equal to 5 cm (group 1), and those whose tumors exceeded 5 cm in diameter (group 2). The following factors were established and compared for the two groups: duration of surgery, amount of intra-operative blood loss, length of hospital stay, and the number and nature of post-operative complications.

resultsNo deaths occurred in the 30-day post-operative period, and no statistically significant differences regarding complications in the post-operative period were observed. In group 2, statistically significantly more pronounced blood loss and longer hospital length of stay were observed. No difference in the duration of surgery between the investigated groups was observed.

conclusionsIt appears that the surgical treatment of GISTs with a diameter of more than 5 cm by means of minimally invasive procedures is a viable and safe alternative.
