A review on double tract reconstruction after proximal gastrectomy for proximal gastric cancer.
Review in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Gastric cancer remains one of the deadliest malignancies on the planet, accounting for the fourth highest cause of death by cancer worldwide. While trends indicate that its incidence is decreasing globally, it remains a concern, particularly when identified at an advanced stage with a high mortality rate. The best treatment option for early proximal stomach cancer has been identified as surgical resection followed by an acceptable reconstructive procedure. One such surgical management called Double Tract Reconstruction (DTR), has piqued surgeons' interest. DTR has been found to be a potential reconstructive strategy for reducing esophagogastric reflux or post-gastrectomy gastritis and esophagitis. Not only does this technique ensure adequate vitamin B12 maintenance post surgically, but it is also a safe and effective procedure. According to several researchers, the benefits may be comparable to those of total gastrectomy as it relates to, post-operative recovery time, operation time, intraoperative complications, and early complications. DTR is still being studied, and gastrointestinal surgeons worldwide are looking for new ways to improve this method and increase overall survival of gastric cancer.
