Assessment of the efficacy and safety of carbon nanoparticles-guided lymph node dissection in gastric cancer surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

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
backgroundTo investigate the efficacy and safety of lymph nodes (LNs) dissection guided by carbon nanoparticles (CNs) in gastric cancer (GC) surgery. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe searched electronic databases such as PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Scopus for relevant articles up to September 2022 and collected all studies comparing the CNs group with blank controls group on the efficacy and safety of LN dissection in gastrectomy. A pooled analysis of the collected data was performed, including the number of retrieved LNs, the staining rate of LNs, the number of metastatic LNs dissection, various intraoperative outcomes, and postoperative complications.
resultsA total of 9 studies including 1770 participants (502 in the CNs group and 1268 in the control group) were included. As compared to the blank control group, the CNs group detected 10.46 more LNs in each patient (WMD = 10.46, 95% CI: 6.63 ~ 14.28, p < 0.00001, I
conclusionCNs-guided gastrectomy is safe and effective, and can increase the efficiency of LN dissection without increasing the risk of surgery.
