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

introductionDisturbance in the lymphatic drainage during D2 dissection is associated with significant morbidity. We aimed to assess the effect of fibrin glue on the reduction of postoperative lymphatic leakage.

methodsProspective double-blinded randomized clinical trial with forty patients in each study arm was conducted. All patients diagnosed, staged, and became a candidate for D2 dissection based on NCCN 2019 guideline for gastric cancer. The intervention group received 1 cc of IFABOND® applied to the surgical bed.

resultsThe difference between study groups regarding age, gender, tumor stage was insignificant. (All p-values > 0.05). The median daily drainage volume was 120 ml with the first and the third interquartile being 75 and 210 ml, respectively for the intervention group. The control group had median, the first, and the third interquartile of 350, 290, and 420 ml. The difference between daily drainage volumes was statistically significant (p-value < 0.001). The length of hospital stay was significantly different between the two groups. Notably, the intervention group was discharged sooner (median of 7 Vs 9 days, p-value: 0.001).

conclusionThis study showed the possible role of fibrin glue in reducing postoperative lymphatic leakage after gastrectomy and D2 dissection. Registration trial number: IRCT20200710048071N1, 2020.08.16.
