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
Objectives: The number of elderly people with stomach cancer is increasing; therefore, minimally invasive surgical treatments are required. Elderly patients have multiple comorbidities and are prone to postoperative weight loss, nutritional disorders, Postgastrectomy syndrome (PGS), and decreased quality of life (QOL). Total gastrectomy is particularly associated with these complications, although aboral-pouch creation reportedly improves the condition by compensating for lost reservoir capacity. However, there is no consensus regarding its significance. This study aimed to investigate the impact of the aboral pouch on total gastrectomy outcomes in elderly patients. Materials and Methods: Thirty-six patients who met the eligibility criteria, defined as elderly patients aged ≥75 years, were retrospectively analyzed. The patients had undergone Roux-en-Y reconstructions with an aboral pouch in laparoscopic total gastrectomy procedures performed at Juntendo University from July 2016 to June 2022. The main outcomes were postoperative nutritional status, PGS, and QOL. Results: The average postoperative period was approximately 1 year (12.0 Conclusions: Total gastrectomy with an aboral-pouch creation could be beneficial for elderly 43 patients from the perspective of postoperative nutritional status, PGS, and QOL.
