Clinical Outcomes of Totally Laparoscopic Total Gastrectomy versus Open Total Gastrectomy for Remnant Gastric Cancer.

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
Purpose: This study compares the feasibility and safety of Totally Laparoscopic Total Gastrectomy (TLTG) with Open Total Gastrectomy (OTG) for Remnant Gastric Cancer (RGC) in patients who had previously undergone gastrectomy. Methods: We retrospectively collected and analyzed the data of 139 consecutive patients who underwent OTG along with 21 patients who underwent TLTG for RGC between January 2008 and December 2016. One-to-two Propensity Score Matching (PSM) was performed to compare the age, gender, body mass index, American Society of Anesthesiologists score, clinical tumor stage, previous gastric disease, previous gastrectomy type, previous reconstruction type, history of previous upper abdominal surgery except gastrectomy, and combined major operations. A total of sixty patients (21 who underwent TLTG and 39 who underwent OTG) were matched, and surgical outcomes and survival rates were compared. Results: The TLTG patients were found to recover bowel movements sooner than the OTG group (OTG 3.74±0.88 vs TLTG 3.19±0.81 days, Conclusion: Although TLTG was not found to have any definitive clinical advantage over OTG except for more rapid recovery of bowel movement, TLTG should be considered as safe and feasible surgical procedure as OTG for the treatment of RGC.
