National validation of laparoscopic approach for locally advanced gastric cancer: Comparison of a randomized controlled trial and real-world practice results.

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
Objective: The laparoscopic approach for locally advanced gastric cancer has recently been adopted based on the results of several randomized controlled trials (RCTs). However, findings from RCTs have not been examined at the national level. This study aimed to investigate the external validity of the Korean Laparoscopic Gastrointestinal Surgery Study-02 (KLASS-02) trial involving 13 tertiary hospitals, using data from the Korean Gastric Cancer Association (KGCA)-led nationwide survey involving 68 tertiary or general hospitals. Methods: Data on patients who underwent laparoscopic or open distal gastrectomy for pathological stage IB-IIIC gastric cancer under the same conditions were collected from the KLASS-02 trial and the KGCA nationwide survey datasets. Surgical outcomes were assessed for each dataset and multivariable analyses were performed to examine the effect of the laparoscopic approach on surgical outcomes. Results: The laparoscopic group had a lower overall complication rate than the open group in both KLASS-02 and KGCA datasets (16.1% Conclusions: The safety and feasibility of the laparoscopic approach for locally advanced gastric cancer were validated at a national level. The laparoscopic approach for locally advanced gastric cancer can be implemented in the Republic of Korea.
