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

backgroundThe surgical treatment of Siewert type II adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction (AEG) is controversial, and no systematic technology has been established. The aim of this retrospective study is to introduce the technology of transthoracic single-port assisted laparoscopic esophagogastrectomy.

methodsData from patients with Siewert type II AEG who underwent transthoracic single-port assisted laparoscopic esophagogastrectomy in Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Chinese Medicine from May 2017 to December 2020 were analyzed.

resultsA total of 35 patients, including 30 males and 5 females, were enrolled in this study. Eight patients underwent proximal gastrectomy while the other 27 patients underwent total gastrectomy. The median operative times were 247.5 (195.0-275.0) min and 290.0 (173.0-530.0) min for proximal and total gastrectomy, respectively. The median lower mediastinal lymph node dissection (LMLD) time was 41.5 (20.0-57.0) min and the median estimated blood loss was 100.0 (20.0-200.0) mL. The median number of harvested mediastinal lymph nodes was 5 [2-13]. Lower mediastinal lymph node metastasis occurred in 9 patients (25.7%). The lower mediastinal lymph node metastasis rate was significantly higher in patients with esophageal involvement exceeding 2 cm [>2

conclusionsTransthoracic single-port assisted laparoscopic esophagogastrectomy is safe and feasible. It has the advantages of reducing the difficulty of LMLD and digestive tract reconstruction.
