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

backgroundSome studies have demonstrated the short-term recovery course for patients who underwent laparoscopic gastrectomy according to preoperative computed tomography angiography (CTA) assessment. However, reports of the long-term oncological outcomes are still limited.

methodsThe data of 988 consecutive patients who underwent laparoscopic or robotic radical gastrectomy between January 2014 and September 2018 were analyzed retrospectively at our center, and propensity score matching was used to eliminate bias. Study cohorts were divided into the CTA group (n = 498) and the non-CTA group (n = 490) depending on whether preoperative CTA was available. The primary and secondary endpoints were the 3-year overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) rates and the intraoperative course and short-term outcomes, respectively.

results431 patients were included in each group after PSM. Compared with the non-CTA group, the CTA group had more harvested lymph nodes and less operative time, blood loss, intraoperative vascular injury and total cost, especially in the subgroup analysis with BMI ≥ 25 kg/m

conclusionsLaparoscopic or robotic radical gastrectomy based on preoperative perigastric artery CTA surgical decision-making has the possibility of improving short-term outcomes. However, there is no difference in the long-term prognosis, except for a subgroup of patients with BMI ≥ 25 kg/m
