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
It is essential for the surgery of gastric submucosal tumors to resect the tumor with a negative margin and minimize the incision of the normal stomach wall. We developed a novel procedure for patients with gastric submucosal tumors using a laparoscopic ultrasound probe as a guide to determine the resection line. Since 2014, we have performed the laparoscopic ultrasound-guided wedge resection of the stomach in seven patients. The tumor was localized, and the property of the tumor was clearly identified using a laparoscopic ultrasound probe. As a result, the ideal incision line was determined without intraoperative endoscopy. The stomach wall was perforated along the marking on the planned incision line and the whole layer is subsequently incised along with the tumor. The surgical margins were negative, and there were no obvious injuries of the pseudocapsule, microscopically, in any case. It is possible that the laparoscopic ultrasound-guided wedge resection of the stomach contributes to a simplification of the surgery of gastric submucosal tumors resulting in reduced medical cost while maintaining curability and functional preservation.
