Robot-assisted laparoscopic total gastrectomy for Epstein-Barr virus-associated multiple gastric cancer: A case report.

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
introductionEpstein-Barr virus-associated gastric cancer (EBVaGC) sometimes appears as multiple gastric cancer lesions. Here, we report a case of robot-assisted laparoscopic total gastrectomy (RTG) for a relatively rare disease with four synchronized lesions in EBVaGC and discuss the usefulness of robotic gastrectomy. PRESENTATION OF CASE: A 60-year-old woman was diagnosed with multiple gastric cancer because she had five lesions in the stomach and biopsy showed the presence of adenocarcinoma in four of the five lesions. We performed robot-assisted laparoscopic total gastrectomy on the patient. The histopathological diagnosis was multiple gastric cancer T1bN0M0 pStage IA. The four lesions were positive for the Epstein-Barr virus encoding region in in-situ hybridization and were considered to be EBVaGC. The patient had no sign of recurrence without postoperative therapy for 24 months. DISSCUSSION: EBVaGC was found in about 10% of all gastric cancer cases worldwide. EBVaGC sometimes appears as multiple gastric cancer, suggesting that EBV infection is closely related to the early stages of tumor formation. Total gastrectomy may be necessary for multiple gastric cancer such as EBVaGC, and robotic surgery is useful in total gastrectomy in terms of high-resolution three-dimensional images and using forceps with multi-joint functions.
conclusionsWe performed RTG on a patient with four synchronous lesions of EBVaGC, which is relatively rare. Robot-assisted laparoscopic total gastrectomy is known to be a safe procedure, and we effectively performed total gastrectomy for multiple EBVaGC.
