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
Background: Compared to distal gastrectomy (DG), pylorus-preserving gastrectomy (PPG), a peristaltic function-preserving surgery for early gastric cancer (EGC), is advantageous as it leads to a more improved nutritional status and quality of life (QOL) of patients. In recent years, total laparoscopic PPG (TLPPG), an anastomosis which is performed intracorporeally, has increasingly replaced laparoscopic-assisted PPG (LAPPG) due to its minimal invasiveness. Aim: To evaluate the safety and feasibility of TLPPG in terms of perioperative efficacy. Patients: Three patients underwent TLPPG in the Affiliated Hospital of Changzhi Medical College from September 2021 to March 2022. Methods: Surgical safety analysis: Our three cases (TLPPG group) were compared to data from the CLASS-02 study, which collected data from multiple centers across China for the laparoscopic total gastrectomy (LTG group). The CLASS-02 study provides data from the most invasive type of gastric surgery, providing solid comparative data to our own.Postoperative short-term efficacy analysis: Patient questionnaire responses provided data on postoperative nutritional and QOL status. Results from our three cases were compared to the Japanese multicenter data PGSAS-37 (PGSAS group). Results: There were no complications or deaths occurred during or after operation in our cases. Compared to the PGSAS group, our cases scored lower for abdominal pain, dyspepsia, and weight loss. Conclusion: Although more case information is needed, our findings demonstrate that TLPPG may be a possible and effective treatment for EGC in China, similar to that in Japan.
