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

Over the past three decades, the implementation of the complete mesocolic excision (CME)/total mesorectal excision (TME) technique in colorectal cancer surgery has significantly reduced local recurrence rates and improved tumor-related survival outcomes. However, due to the morphological complexities of the gastric mesentery and its presence is still controversy, the concept of mesogastric excision(MGE) has yet to gain widespread acceptance in gastric cancer surgery. Nowadays, surgeons have begun to identify a dissectible loose connective-tissue layer between the lymph nodes and landmark structures through magnified images obtained during laparoscopic or robotic gastrectomy. We agree with the authors that MGE serves as a standardized concept in gastric cancer surgery.
