A retrospective study comparing D1 limited lymph node dissection and D2 extended lymph node dissection for N3 gastric cancer.
Article in Translational cancer research, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundIn countries in East Asia, the typical treatment for curable gastric cancer is gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy. However, whether D2 lymphadenectomy is beneficial for high-risk N3 node disease remains controversial. We conducted a multi-institution retrospective study on patients with high-risk, locally advanced gastric cancer. To compare the rates of disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) between radical D2-type gastric resection and lymphadenectomy and the more limited D1 type resection and lymphadenectomy.
methodsFrom July 2010 to June 2015, 74 patients out of 949 who underwent curative-intent R0 surgery were selected in pairs to compare the survival outcomes between those who underwent radical D2 type (n=37)
resultsThe median DFS was 9.72 and 7.81 months for the D2 and D1 types, respectively (P=0.746), and the OS was 16.39 and 15.85 months for the D2 and D1 types, respectively (P=0.937).
conclusionsNo statistically significant differences in DFS and OS were noted between D1 and D2 procedures for those with N3 disease. Our results support the hypothesis that a novel multidisciplinary approach rather than a surgical approach alone is needed to improve the survival outcomes of high-risk patients with N3 gastric cancer.
