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

Background/Aim: Total gastrectomy is the cornerstone treatment for gastric cancer, particularly in patients with proximal or large tumors. For early-stage gastric cancer, laparoscopic total gastrectomy (LTG) has demonstrated comparable short- and long-term outcomes to those of open total gastrectomy (OTG), while reports on advanced gastric cancer (AGC) are limited. We aimed to compare the short- and long-term outcomes of patients with AGC who underwent LTG or OTG. Patients and Methods: This study included consecutive patients with AGC who underwent LTG or OTG with lymph node dissection at our institution from January 2002 to June 2024. Propensity score matching was conducted at a 1:1 ratio to reduce bias. Results: A total of 158 patients were enrolled (LTG: 39; OTG: 119). Of these, 64 were paired by propensity score matching. The clinical tumor invasion depth was balanced, but the pathological depth was significantly deeper in the LTG group. The number of patients with lymph node metastasis did not differ. The median operative time was longer for LTG (512.5 min) than for OTG (267 min), whereas LTG resulted in significantly less blood loss (125 g Conclusion: LTG is a feasible and safe approach for AGC, offering comparable short- and long-term outcomes to OTG.
