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
Laparoscopic total gastrectomy (LTG) still poses certain technical challenges today, especially in performing esophagojejunostomy during laparoscopic gastric resection, as this procedure demands high technical expertise and is considered difficult. Currently, digestive tract reconstruction methods after LTG involve two main types of anastomosis: circular stapler anastomosis and linear stapler anastomosis. Circular stapler anastomosis is considered the "gold standard" for esophagojejunostomy in open total gastrectomy. The pouch suture device is used to create a pouch along the distal esophagus, which forms the standard technique for circular stapler-based esophagojejunostomy in open surgery. There is still no consensus on the optimal anastomosis method, and thus, a simple, effective laparoscopic pouch suture device or instrument paired with an appropriate esophagojejunostomy in the small intestine remains to be developed. This retrospective study analyzed 37 patients who underwent laparoscopic total gastrectomy with esophagojejunostomy using a novel laparoscopic pouch suture clamp (Lap-PSC) and multifunctional sealing cap (MSC) at the First People's Hospital of Yancheng from June 2023 to February 2025. The study aimed to achieve a simple intraluminal circular stapler esophagojejunostomy in gastric cancer patients and to present the surgical details and analyze the postoperative outcomes. The average operative time was 272.89 ± 31.04 min, and no tumor was found at the surgical margins in all patients. Three postoperative complications occurred, one of which was an A-grade anastomotic leak, while the other complications were unrelated to the anastomosis. No deaths were reported. During the median follow-up period of 17 months, no anastomotic-related complications were observed. The combined use of Lap-PSC and MSC allows for the safe, simple, and standardized completion of single-anastomosis esophagojejunostomy with a circular stapler in laparoscopic total gastrectomy (LTG).
