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

purposeMany studies have demonstrated that single-incision or reduced-port laparoscopic distal gastrectomy is a feasible method compared to conventional laparoscopic distal gastrectomy. Using rigid-type laparoscope and right-side approach, we could perform dual-port laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (DPLDG) for gastric cancer. This study aimed to compare the surgical outcomes of DPLDG to those of 3-port laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (TPLDG).

methodsFrom March 2017 to December 2019, this retrospective study included 218 patients with gastric cancer who underwent DPLDG (106 patients) or TPLDG (112 patients) at SMG-SNU Boramae Medical Center. Surgical outcomes were compared between 2 operation methods.

resultsOperation time was similar between DPLDG and TPLDG (158.9 ± 33.4 minutes vs. 154.0 ± 31.1 min, P = 0.787). The number of retrieved lymph nodes was similar between the 2 groups (35.3 ± 14.6 vs. 37.0 ± 13.5, P = 0.415). The complication rate in DPLDG and TPLDG groups was 10.4% and 8.9%, respectively (P = 0.894). The time to first flatus, time to first diet, and postoperative hospital stay were similar between the 2 groups. There were no reoperation or mortality cases. The cost of trocars was 359.9 US dollars (USD) in DPLDG and 291-391.4 USD in TPLDG.

conclusionThe surgical outcomes of DPLDG and TPLDG did not differ. Regarding fewer incisions, DPLDG can be an alternative option for TPLDG.
