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
The left renal vein lymph node (LRVLN) may be the extended locoregional node in esophagogastric junction cancer; however, only open-surgical methods of dissection have been reported. We therefore developed a novel minimally invasive laparoscopic method for LRVLN dissection. Following esophagectomy, the stomach was mobilized and LRVLN dissection was started by taping the pancreatic body using two silicone drains. The transverse mesocolon was then retracted through the superior duodenal fossa to expose the horizontal duodenum and permit LRVLN dissection. We carried out the procedure successfully in 17 patients with advanced esophagogastric cancer. The median total and laparoscopic operative times were 415 and 161 min, respectively. Postoperative esophagectomy-related complications occurred in six patients. The median estimated blood loss was 120 ml and hospital stay was 15 days. This minimally invasive laparoscopic LRVLN dissection method was safe and effective, and may support faster recovery and earlier postoperative adjuvant therapy in patients with esophagogastric junction cancer.
