Application value of Stomach Hanging Maneuver (SHM) in supra-pancreatic lymph node dissection of Laparoscopic Radical Gastrectomy for Upper Gastric Cancer (LRG-UGC).
Article in BMC surgery, 2026. 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
backgroundAdequate and stable exposure of the supra-pancreatic region is crucial for improving the quality and outcomes of laparoscopic radical gastrectomy for upper gastric cancer (LRG-UGC). This study aimed to evaluate the application value of stomach hanging maneuver (SHM) in supra-pancreatic lymph node dissection during LRG-UGC.
methodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted at Zhejiang Cancer Hospital. Clinicopathological data from 80 patients who underwent laparoscopic radical gastrectomy between August 2023 and July 2024 were reviewed. Patients were divided into two groups: conventional exposure (non-suspension group, n = 39) and SHM (SHM group, n = 41). Baseline characteristics and surgical outcomes were compared. Continuous variables with normal distribution were analyzed using the independent-samples t test, non-normally distributed variables with the Mann–Whitney U test, and categorical variables with the chi-square test.
resultsBaseline characteristics, including age, sex, BMI, and TNM stage, were comparable between groups (P > 0.05). Compared with the non-suspension group, SHM group had shorter median total operative time (3.31 h), fewer supra-pancreatic grasps (63.00), fewer supra-pancreatic bleeding events (2.00), and fewer total grasps (97.00), with significant differences in these parameters (P < 0.05).
conclusionCompared with the conventional non-suspension approach, SHM appeared to provide better surgical exposure during supra-pancreatic lymph node dissection in LRG-UGC, and was associated with a shorter operative duration and potentially less intraoperative trauma. Taken together, these findings suggest that SHM is a feasible technique, although further validation in larger, well-designed studies is required.
