Comparison of laparoscopy combined with gastroscopy positioning and open resection for gastric stromal tumours: A meta-analysis.
Review in Journal of minimal access surgery. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesThe aim of the study was to assess the efficacy and safety in treating gastric stromal tumours by laparoscopy combined with gastroscopy positioning surgery.
methodsI searched the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about the efficacy and safety of laparoscopy combined with gastroscopy positioning surgery in treating gastric stromal tumours from the PubMed (1998~2018.06), Wanfang Data (1990~2018.06), China National Knowledge Infrastructure (1979~2018.06) and International Statistical Institute (1998~2018.06). I extracted the data from these trials, and I got the meta-analysis from RevMan 5.3 software.
resultsTwenty-six RCTs involving 1710 patients were included (870 patients in the laparoscopy combined with gastroscopy positioning group and 840 patients in openresection group). Compared with open resection group, this meta-analysis showed that laparoscopy combined with gastroscopy positioning group could reduce the intraoperative blood (P < 0.05), shorten the post-operative time of recovery of intestinal peristalsis (P < 0.05), shorten the diet recovery time (P < 0.05), reduce the incidence of the incision infection, intestinal obstruction and pneumonia and also shorten the post-operation hospital stay (P < 0.05). However, there was no significant difference in the operation time (P > 0.05).
conclusionCompared with open resection group, the total effect of laparoscopy combined with gastroscopy positioning group in the treatment of gastric stromal tumours is better. Laparoscopy combined with gastroscopy positioning group for the gastric stromal tumours is acceptable.
