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

backgroundValvuloplastic esophagogastrostomy (VEG) using the double flap technique (DFT) after proximal gastrectomy (PG) represents a promising procedure for the prevention of reflux oesophagitis. We aimed to retrospectively investigate the efficacy of minimally invasive PG followed by VEG-DFT in preventing reflux oesophagitis among patients who require intra-mediastinal anastomosis.

methodsA total of 80 patients who underwent reconstruction with DFT after LPG from November 2013 to January 2021 were enrolled in the present study. Data were obtained through a review of our prospectively maintained database. At 1 year after surgery, multivariate analyses were performed to identify risk factors for gastroesophageal reflux disease of Los Angeles (LA) classification grade B or higher.

resultsThe incidence of LA grade B or higher reflux oesophagitis 1 year after surgery was 10%. Multivariate analyses revealed that the longitudinal length of the resected oesophagus of > 20 mm was the only significant risk factor for reflux oesophagitis. Patients with a longitudinal length of the resected oesophagus > 20 mm (group-L, n = 35) had a significantly longer total operative time and a higher rate of complications within 30 days of surgery than those with a length of ≤ 20 mm (group-S, n = 45). LA grade B or higher reflux oesophagitis was significantly higher in group-L than in group-S (20% vs. 2.2%; P = 0.011).

conclusionsThere is a need for surgical procedures with improved efficacy for the prevention of reflux oesophagitis in patients requiring oesophageal resection of > 20-mm.
