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

Lymphadenectomy (LND) is a crucial component of the curative surgical treatment of gastric cancer (GC). The LND serves to both accurately stage the disease and offer therapeutic benefits. At the time of "curative-intent" gastrectomy, D2 LND is the optimal treatment for patients with locally advanced GC due to its survival benefits and acceptable morbidity. Mastery of the technical aspects of LND, especially D2, requires significant training, adequate case volume, and expertise. This review discusses key aspects of D2 LND, including its status as the standard treatment for locally advanced GC, definition and anatomic borders, technical details, and controversial topics such as splenic hilar dissection and omentectomy. The application of indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging to elucidate the drainage patterns of GC and to facilitate lymph node (LN) identification is briefly reviewed. Finally, GC standardization and centralization, including surgical treatment, are discussed.
