Effectiveness and safety of self-pulling and latter transected reconstruction in totally laparoscopic total gastrectomy: a comparison with laparoscopic-assisted total gastrectomy.
Article in BMC surgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 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
backgroundIn some earlier studies, self-pulling and later transection (SPLT) esophagojejunostomy (E-J) was incorporated into total laparoscopic total gastrectomy (TLTG) procedures. Its effectiveness and safety, however, remain unknown. This study compared (SPLT)-E-J in TLTG with conventional E-J in laparoscopic-assisted total gastrectomy (LATG) in order to assess the short-term safety and efficacy of (SPLT)-E-J in TLTG.
methodsThis research analyzed patients with gastric cancer who received SPLT-TLTG or LATG between January 2019 and December 2021 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University. Baseline data and postoperative short-term surgical outcomes were obtained retrospectively and compared between the two groups.
resultsA total of 83 patients who underwent SPLT-TLTG (n = 40, 48.2%) or LATG (n = 43, 51.8%) were included in this study. There were no differences between the two groups in terms of patient demographics or tumor characteristics. No statistically significant differences were observed between the two groups in terms of operation time, intraoperative blood loss, harvested lymph nodes, postoperative complications, postoperative decrease in hemoglobin and albumin levels, or postoperative hospital stay. Five and seven patients experienced short-term postoperative complications in the SPLT-TLTG and LATG groups, respectively.
conclusionsSPLT-TLTG is a dependable and safe surgical method for the treatment of gastric cancer. Its short-term outcomes were similar to those of conventional E-J in LATG and had advantages regarding surgical incision and simplification of reconstruction.
