Preventive effect on delayed gastric emptying of preserving the infra-pyloric vein in laparoscopic pylorus-preserving gastrectomy for early gastric cancer.

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
backgroundPylorus-preserving gastrectomy (PPG) has the postoperative advantages of a better quality of life and less weight loss than distal gastrectomy. However, postoperative delayed gastric emptying (DGE) due to antral hypomotility can be a problem. Although preserving the infra-pyloric vein (IPV) is reported to improve congestion of the antrum and prevent DGE, the benefits of this procedure have not been confirmed. The present study aimed to clarify the preventive effect on DGE of preserving the IPV.
methodsA total of 148 patients [IPV-preserved (IPVP): 78 patients and IPV-non-preserved (IPVN): 70 patients] who underwent laparoscopic and robotic PPG (LRPPG) for early gastric cancer were enrolled in this study. The clinicopathologic characteristics and incidence of DGE were compared between the groups. The nutritional risk index (NRI) at 1, 2, and 3 years after the operation and the relapse-free survival (RFS) were also compared.
resultsThere were no significant differences in the clinicopathological characteristics between the two groups. DGE was observed in 15 of 148 patients (10.1%). The incidence of DGE did not differ markedly between the 2 groups (IPVP vs. IPVN; 11.5% vs. 8.6% p = 0.596). There were no significant differences in other complications between the groups either (IPVP vs. IPVN; 19.2% vs. 21.4%; p = 0.838). The NRI and 3-year RFS were not significantly different between the two groups.
conclusionRegarding LRPPG, preserving the IPV did not help prevent DGE and resulted in no significant difference in the outcomes.
