Characteristics of lymph node (No.5 and No.6) metastasis and significance of lymph node dissection in Siewert type II esophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma (AEG): No.5 and No.6 lymph node metastases of AEG and clearance.
Article in Medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundTo analyze the characteristics, related risk factors, and prognosis of lymph node metastasis (Number [No.] 5 and No.6) in the group of adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction (AEG).
methodsThe patients with Siewert II AEG who underwent total gastrectomy and D2 lymph node dissection from September 2015 to December 2018 in Lanzhou University Second Hospital were enrolled in this study. The pathological features of the postoperative specimens were analyzed (sex, age, maximum diameter, location, depth of invasion, degree of differentiation, neurological and vascular invasion, etc), and the lymph node metastasis rate of No.5, No.6 groups were calculated. The analysis was performed by IBM SPSS statistical software. The risk factors associated with lymph node metastasis in No.5 and No.6 groups were analyzed. Survival analysis was performed by Kaplan-M method, and survival rate was estimated, Log-rank test was used for comparison, and the difference was statistically significant at P < .05.
resultsThere were 142 cases of Siewert type II AEG with the positive rate of No.5 lymph nodes being 10.81% (8/74), and the positive rate of No.6 lymph nodes was 8.33% (11/132). No.5 and No.6 lymph nodes metastasis were not associated with gender, age, tumor maximum diameter, location (cardiac left/cardiac right) (P > .05), and were associated with invasion depth, differentiation degree, nerve and vascular invasion (P < .05). In the No.5 lymph node-positive group, the 3-year Overall Survival (OS) was 25.0%, and the No.5 lymph node-negative group had a 5-year OS of 57.8%, which was statistically different (P < .05). The 3-year OS was 18.2% in No.6 node-positive group and 53.8% in No.6 node-negative group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < .05).
conclusionFor Siewert type II AEG, the lymph node metastasis rate was higher in No.5 and No.6 groups when the tumor invaded all layers of gastric wall and was poorly differentiated complicated with vascular nerve invasion, and the lymph node metastasis rate was lower at 3 years, which may be more appropriate for total gastrectomy +D2 lymph node dissection.
