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

Purpose: Endophytic gastric subepithelial tumors (SETs), especially those near the gastroesophageal junction (GEJ), present challenges in localization and resection. This study aimed to compare the outcomes of single-incision intragastric wedge resection (SIWR) and conventional multiport laparoscopic wedge resection (CWR) for endophytic gastric SETs, including a subgroup analysis of tumors located near the GEJ. Methods: This retrospective, single-center study included 124 patients who underwent laparoscopic wedge resection for endophytic gastric SETs between January 2016 and December 2024. Operative and postoperative outcomes were compared between the SIWR (n = 23) and CWR (n = 101) groups. Subgroup analysis was performed for tumors located within 2 cm of the GEJ. Results: The mean tumor size was smaller in the SIWR group than in the CWR group (2.03 ± 0.97 cm Conclusion: Both CWR and SIWR are feasible approaches for endophytic gastric SETs. SIWR may be preferable in selecting GEJ-proximal cases but requires cautious application due to its higher complication rate.
