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

BACKGROUND AND

aimsLaparoscopic resection has been reported as effective and safe for gastric schwannoma (GS) in the form of case reports. However, study on laparoscopic surgery in patients with GS larger than 30 mm has been rarely reported. To this end, the present study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic resection for the treatment of GS larger than 30 mm and its long-term outcomes.

methodsThis is a retrospective case series study of patients with GS larger than 30 mm who underwent laparoscopic resection at our hospital between January 2014 and December 2020. Clinical pathology, surgical and follow-up data were collected and analyzed.

resultsA total of 10 patients with a mean age of 51.6 years were included. Seven tumors were located in gastric body, 2 in antrum and 1 in fundus. Laparoscopic gastric wedge resection was performed in 7 patients, while laparoscopic gastric local resection was performed in 3 patients. All patients achieved complete resection. The mean operation time was 112.6 ± 34.3 min, and the mean postoperative hospital stay was 13.8 ± 5.1 days. Postoperative gastroplegia occurred in 2 patients and was treated with conservative therapy. No recurrence, metastasis or residue was found during the follow-up of mean 45.1 months.

conclusionsLaparoscopic resection is a safe and effective method for treating GS larger than 30 mm with favorable long-term follow-up outcomes. Laparoscopic resection may be considered as the first-line treatment for GS larger than 30 mm.
