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

Although simultaneous open surgery for synchronous gastric and colon cancer has been reported frequently to date, total laparoscopic resection has been documented rarely. A 63-year-old male patient who presented with complaints of abdominal pain and constipation was diagnosed with synchronous gastric and sigmoid colon cancer. Simultaneous total laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (Roux-en-Y anastomosis and D2 lymph node dissection) and anterior resection were performed with a total of five ports. Total operation time was 310 min. and estimated blood loss was 175 mL. Histopathological examination result was reported as well-differentiated adenocarcinoma for the stomach and moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma for the colon. Staging result was Stage IIA (pT3N0M0, American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) 8th Edition) for both cancers. The patient received postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy. He remains under follow-up at 21 months without any recurrence. With the improved techniques and increased experience in minimally invasive surgery, combined laparoscopic curative resection can be safely performed for gastric and colon cancer.
