Comparing Quality of Life for Billroth II With Braun Versus Uncut Roux-en-Y Reconstruction After Total Laparoscopic Distal Gastrectomy for Gastric Cancer: A Randomized Clinical Trial.
Trial report in Cancer control : journal of the Moffitt Cancer Center. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
IntroductionThe decline in mortality and increase in cure rates following distal gastrectomy have led to a growing focus on patient quality of life (QoL). This study aims to compare QoL outcomes between uncut Roux-en-Y (URY) and Billroth-II with Braun anastomosis (BIIB) reconstructions after totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (TLDG), and to identify the preferred surgical approach.Materials and MethodsFrom May 2017 to May 2019, a prospective randomized controlled trial (RCT) enrolled 101 gastric cancer patients undergoing TLDG, who were randomly allocated to either URY or BIIB reconstruction. The primary endpoint evaluated the superiority of URY in postoperative QoL at 24 months, as quantified by composite scores from the validated QLQ-C30 version 3.0 and QLQ-STO22 instruments.ResultsAfter TLDG, compared with BIIB, the URY group had lower EORTC QLQ-C 30 3.0 nausea and vomiting scores at 12 (3.6 (3.3) vs 8.3 (5.3)) and 24 (2.7 (3.4) vs 7.5 (4.2),
