Differences in glycemic trends due to reconstruction methods after proximal gastrectomy from the perspective of continuous glucose-monitoring.

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
purposeIn recent years, clinicians have focused on the importance of preventing hypoglycemia. We evaluated the impact of different reconstruction procedures after proximal gastrectomy on glycemic variability in non-diabetic patients with gastric cancer.
methodsThis prospective observational study was conducted between April 2020 and March 2023. Flash continuous glucose-monitoring, a novel method for assessing glycemic control, was used to evaluate the glycemic profiles after gastrectomy. A flash continuous glucose-monitoring sensor was placed subcutaneously at the time of discharge, and glucose trends were evaluated for 2 weeks.
resultsThe anastomotic methods for proximal gastrectomy were esophagogastrostomy in 10 patients and double-tract reconstruction in 10 patients. The time below this range (glucose levels < 70 mg/dL) was significantly higher in the double-tract reconstruction group than in the esophagogastrostomy group (p = 0.049). A higher nocturnal time below this range was significantly correlated with an older age and double-tract reconstruction (p = 0.025 and p = 0.025, respectively).
conclusionThese findings provide new insights into reconstruction methods after proximal gastrectomy by assessing postoperative hypoglycemia in non-diabetic patients with gastric cancer.
