Success Rate and Factors Associated With Surveillance Endoscopy After Proximal Gastrectomy With Double-Tract Reconstruction: A Retrospective Multicenter Cohort Study.
Article in Journal of gastric cancer, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeThis study aimed to analyze the rate of adequate observation of the remnant stomach after proximal gastrectomy (PG) with double-tract reconstruction (DTR). MATERIALS AND
methodsData from patients who underwent PG with DTR for gastric cancer at 6 institutions in South Korea were included. The clinicopathological and serial endoscopic data were retrospectively analyzed. Successful surveillance endoscopy was defined as photographic documentation of the pyloric antrum. Factors associated with successful endoscopy were analyzed using a mixed-effects logistic regression model.
resultsIn total, 634 surveillance endoscopies were performed in 160 patients after they underwent PG with DTR. The median time from surgery to endoscopy was 17.5 months (range, 0-137 months). The overall success rate of endoscopy was 75.6%. The mean total procedure time for successful endoscopies was 439.4±336.0 seconds, compared with 373.7±326.0 seconds for failed examinations (P=0.033). Although 31.9% of the patients experienced failure during their first endoscopy, all but 3 patients achieved at least one successful endoscopy by the fourth session. Factors associated with successful endoscopy included longer procedure time (odds ratio [OR], 1.32; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.01-1.72), endoscopy performed by an endoscopist without prior PG experience (OR, 0.19; 95% CI, 0.11-0.36), and a longer duration after surgery (OR, 1.33; 95% CI, 1.02-1.72).
conclusionsUnderstanding the anatomical changes after PG with DTR is essential for successful surveillance endoscopy. In addition, the failure rates across all serial endoscopies are very low. Therefore, clinicians should ensure sufficient procedure time during endoscopy, regardless of the outcomes of previous examinations.
