Safety of laparoscopic local resection for gastrointestinal stromal tumors near the esophagogastric junction.
Article in Surgery today, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
purposeLaparoscopic local resection for gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) near the esophagogastric junction (EGJ) increases the risk of injuring the EGJ. We investigated the safety of laparoscopic local resection for GISTs near the EGJ according to the distance from the EGJ to the tumor edge.
methodsWe retrospectively evaluated 40 patients who had undergone laparoscopic local resection for GISTs near the EGJ between January 2009 and December 2019. After excluding 1 patient who had undergone right colectomy at the same time, 39 patients were classified according to distance of the GIST from the EGJ in the Near group (0-2.0 cm; n = 16) and the Far group (2.1-5.0 cm; n = 23).
resultsWe found no marked differences in the operation time, blood loss, length of postoperative hospital stay, or postoperative complication rate in the two groups. Anastomotic leakage occurred with a tumor located on the EGJ. Three tumors recurred in the Near group, and all of them were located on the EGJ.
conclusionExcept for GISTs located on the EGJ, laparoscopic local resection for GISTs near the EGJ can be performed safely with few postoperative complications and a low risk of recurrence.
