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

Oncological gastrectomy, despite remaining a mainstay of gastric cancer treatment, is reportedly associated with high morbidity and mortality in elderly patients. Less invasive modalities suitable for senior gastric cancer patients with insufficient surgical tolerance are thus needed. We adopted laparoscopic and endoscopic cooperative surgery as an alternative for elderly gastric cancer cases unsuitable for aggressive gastrectomy. To date, we have experienced three cases (80-86 years old) undergoing palliative laparoscopic and endoscopic cooperative surgery. Postoperative courses were uneventful in two cases, while sutural leakage occurred in the other, which was managed conservatively. Postoperative loss of body weight and skeletal muscle mass appeared to be minimal according to bioelectrical impedance analyses. No gastric cancer recurrence was detected in any of our three cases. As to the balance between radicality and safety, laparoscopic and endoscopic cooperative surgery is potentially a viable option for geriatric gastric cancer patients in whom conventional gastrectomy is contraindicated.
