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

Background: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy is incrementally applied to remedy locally advanced gastric cancer. However, NACT also enhances the difficulty of laparoscopic lymph node dissection. The objective of our study was to evaluate the safety and feasibility of laparoscopic gastrectomy for locally advanced gastric cancer after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Methods: From July 2017 to December 2019, 153 patients who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy and underwent the subsequent surgical procedure were retrospectively enrolled and analyzed in the Gastrointestinal Surgery Department of West China Hospital. According to surgical methods, all the patients were sectionalized into two groups: laparoscopic assistant gastrectomy (LAG, 77 patients) and traditional open gastrectomy (OG, 76 patients). The demographic parameters, preoperative, surgical, pathological, and neoadjuvant chemotherapy features were compared between the two groups. Results: A total of 153 patients accepted neoadjuvant chemotherapy and surgical resection in our study. There was no statistically significant difference in demographic parameters and preoperative and neoadjuvant chemotherapy characteristics between the two groups. The LAG group illustrated less intraoperative blood loss (91.1 ± 53.1 ml vs. 125.7 ± 116.9 ml, Conclusion: Laparoscopic gastrectomy for locally advanced gastric cancer after neoadjuvant chemotherapy is safe and feasible without increasing postoperative adverse events.
