Open distal gastrectomy versus laparoscopic distal gastrectomy for early gastric cancer: a retrospective study.
Article in Journal of gastrointestinal oncology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundLaparoscopic distal gastrectomy (LDG) is gaining popularity because its early postoperative effect has been shown to be better than open distal gastrectomy (ODG). However, to our knowledge, there are no studies demonstrating ODG is oncologically equivalent to LDG.
methodsThis is a retrospective study based on the prospectively maintained database of the People's Hospital of Jinan City. Patients with operable, pathologically confirmed early-stage gastric cancer were included, while those with advanced disease or carcinoma
resultsA total of 126 patients were finally enrolled and included 61 in the ODG group and 65 in the LDG group. Baseline clinical and pathological characteristics were generally balanced between the two groups. After a median follow-up of 8.31 years, the 5-year overall survival rate was estimated to be 82.8% (95% CI: 69.4-90.7%) for the ODG group and 86.7% (95% CI: 73.9-93.5%) for the LDG group and the recurrence patterns were similar between the two groups.
conclusionsOur data showed that the surgical results of both approaches are satisfactory, and LDG offers a reasonable option to ODG in patients with early gastric cancer.
