Evaluation of postgastrectomy symptoms and daily lives of small remnant distal gastrectomy for upper-third gastric cancer using a large-scale questionnaire survey.

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
Aim: Total gastrectomy (TG) is often performed for proximal gastric cancer. Small remnant distal gastrectomy (SRDG) can also be used in cases where surgical margins can be secured. The impact of preserving proximal small remnant stomach on postoperative quality of life (QOL) has not been fully elucidated. In the present study, we compared postgastrectomy symptoms and daily lives between patients undergoing SRDG and those undergoing TG for proximal gastric cancer using the developed Postgastrectomy Syndrome Assessment Scale (PGSAS)-45. Methods: Of the 1909 patients enrolled in the PGSAS NEXT study, univariate analysis of 19 main outcomes measures (MOMs) of PGSAS-45 was performed in patients undergoing TG (n = 1020) or SRDG (n = 54). Multiple regression analysis was performed with several clinical factors as explanatory variables. Results: There was no difference in age and sex between TG and SRDG groups. In SRDG group, postoperative period was shorter, the rates of laparoscopic approach and preservation of the celiac branch of the vagus nerve were higher, and the rates of clinical stage III/IV disease, ≥D2 dissection, and combined resection with other organs were lower than in the TG group significantly ( Conclusion: The PGSAS-45 revealed that SRDG was associated with better postgastrectomy symptoms and daily lives than TG.
