Surgical resection of esophagogastric junction stromal tumor: How to protect the cardiac function.
Article in World journal of gastroenterology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
backgroundVarious surgical procedures have been described for gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) at the esophagogastric junction (EGJ) close to the Z-line. However, surgery for EGJ-GIST involving Z-line has been rarely reported.
aimTo introduce a novel technique called conformal resection (CR) for open resection of EGJ-GIST involving Z-line.
methodsIn this retrospective study, 43 patients having GISTs involving Z-line were included. The perioperative outcomes of patients receiving CR (
resultsCR was successfully performed in all the patients with negative microscopic margins. The mean operative time, time to first passage of flatus, and postoperative hospital stay was significantly shorter in the CR group (
conclusionCR is safe and feasible for EGJ-GIST located within 7.0 mm above the Z-line.
