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
backgroundTubular anastomosis is commonly used in proximal gastrectomy; however, its use in stage II esophagogastric conjugate cancer is currently unclear. In this study, we investigated the short- and long-term clinical outcomes of Siewert II/III adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction after modified proximal gastrectomy with tubular esophagogastric anastomosis compared with total gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y reconstruction.
methodsWe collected the clinical data of patients who underwent proximal gastrectomy tubular esophagogastric anastomosis (PG-TEA) and total gastrectomy Roux-en-Y reconstruction (TG-RY) from October 2015 to October 2018. The clinical characteristics, postoperative quality of life, nutritional status, and long-term survival outcomes of the two groups were compared.
resultsThere were 43 patients in the PG-TEA group and 80 patients in the TG-RY group, and there was no significant difference between the baseline data of the groups. The operation time of the PG-TEA group was shorter, there was less intraoperative bleeding, and the feeding time was earlier, which was conducive to postoperative recovery. Reflux esophagitis was more evident in the PG-TEA group than in the TG-RY group, and there was no significant difference in the incidence of anastomotic ulcers or other complications. Three months after surgery, the nutritional status of the PG-TEA group was better than the TG-RY group. By the 6th postoperative month, there was no significant difference between the two groups. Regarding quality of life, the PG-TEA group was superior to the TG-RY group in terms of diarrhea and dumping syndrome. In addition, the PG-TEA group had higher satisfaction with daily life and higher-quality meals. There was no significant difference in overall survival between the two groups.
conclusionsProximal gastrectomy tubular gastroesophageal anastomosis is a surgical procedure for stage II Siewert type II and III AEG. It achieves similar clinical outcomes to those after total gastrectomy and can be further applied in the clinic.
