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
backgroundTo investigate whether an additional gastrojejunostomy reduces the incidence of delayed gastric emptying (DGE) following a distal segmental duodenectomy for duodenal and proximal jejunal gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). MATERIALS AND
methodsThis retrospective review of the GIST database at Peking University Cancer Hospital included 50 patients who underwent distal segmental duodenectomies for primary GIST in the duodenum or proximal jejunum within 20 cm of Treitz's ligament between January 2008 and December 2023. The patients were divided into two groups: non-bypass (without gastrojejunostomy) and bypass (with gastrojejunostomy and Braun's jejunojejunostomy). Perioperative characteristics and postoperative complications were analyzed.
resultsAmong the 50 patients, 27 underwent duodenojejunostomies without gastrojejunostomies and 23 with gastrojejunostomies and Braun's jejunojejunostomies. The incidence of grade B-C DGE was significantly lower in the bypass group (43.5% vs. 74.1%, p = 0.028). In addition, non-bypass surgery was an independent risk factor for increased grade B-C DGE (OR 3.67, 95% CI 1.07-12.64, p = 0.039). The bypass group showed a trend towards a shorter postoperative hospital stay (median: 14 days, range: 10-56) compared to the non-bypass group (median: 28 days, range: 6-75), but this difference did not reach statistical significance (p = 0.070). Operative time (min) was significantly longer in the multi-visceral resection group (381.0 ± 108.8 vs. 227.3 ± 87.6, p < 0.001), for tumors ≥ 6.3 cm compared to < 6.3 cm (337.0 ± 116.4 vs. 228.3 ± 99.8, p = 0.002), and in patients with positive preoperative symptoms versus asymptomatic patients (319.9 ± 118.0 vs. 210.2 ± 90.3, p = 0.031).
conclusionThe addition of gastrojejunostomy and Braun's jejunojejunostomy in distal segmental duodenectomy can reduce the incidence of grade B-C DGE, potentially facilitating timely adjuvant imatinib therapy. Future multicenter studies are needed to confirm these findings.
