Digestive tract reconstruction after laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy: Double tract reconstruction or double flap technique?

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
Aim: The reconstruction methods after proximal gastrectomy (PG) are varied but not standardized. This study was performed to evaluate the short-term clinical outcomes between double tract reconstruction (DTR) and double flap technique (DFT). Methods: We retrospectively reviewed and collected data of patients who underwent DTR and DFT after laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy (LPG), respectively, between January 2020 and March 2023. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to balance the baseline data of the two groups, then we compared their short-term clinical outcomes. Results: A total of 72 patients (48 and 24 patients in the DTR and DFT groups, respectively) were included. The anastomosis time was significantly longer in the DFT group than that in the DTR group (70.1 vs. 52.7 min, Conclusion: Double flap technique emerged as a superior alternative to DTR in terms of facilitating early postoperative recovery, sustaining nutritional status, and improving QOL. DFT could potentially be the preferred reconstruction method following laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy.
