Reflux Esophagitis After Laparoscopic Pylorus-Preserving Gastrectomy for Gastric Cancer.
Article in Annals of surgical oncology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
backgroundLaparoscopic pylorus-preserving gastrectomy (LPPG) is performed for cT1N0 gastric cancer as a function-preserving surgery, but reflux esophagitis can develop as a mid- to long-term complication postoperatively. We aimed to clarify the incidence rate of this complication and the factors correlated with it.
methodsPatients with gastric cancer who underwent LPPG between 2005 and 2017 were analyzed. Postoperative reflux esophagitis was evaluated with esophagogastroduodenoscopy; patients were diagnosed as having reflux esophagitis with erosive esophagitis using the modified Los Angeles classification. The incidence rate of postoperative reflux esophagitis was estimated; factors correlated with postoperative reflux esophagitis were analyzed using the logistic regression model.
resultsDuring the study period, 813 patients underwent LPPG for gastric cancer, and 127 (15.6%) of them developed grade B or more severe postoperative reflux esophagitis. The factors correlated with postoperative reflux esophagitis were male sex (odds ratio, 2.68; 95% confidence interval, 1.77-4.05; P < 0.001), preoperative grade A reflux esophagitis (odds ratio, 3.05; 95% confidence interval, 1.28-7.27; P = 0.012), body mass index of ≥ 23 kg/m
conclusionsCareful attention should be paid in performing LPPG and in postoperative management after LPPG for gastric cancer patients with those risk factors.
