Application of modified π-shaped anastomosis in digestive tract reconstruction during totally laparoscopic total gastrectomy: a feasibility study.
Article in World journal of surgical oncology, 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
objectiveTo investigate the feasibility and short-term efficacy of the modified π-shaped anastomosis technique for esophagogastric anastomosis in gastrointestinal reconstruction after total gastrectomy performed entirely by laparoscopy.
methodsThis study included 50 patients who underwent totally laparoscopic gastrectomy with modified π-shaped anastomosis for gastrointestinal reconstruction at the First Affiliated Hospital of Wannan Medical College from August 2021 to August 2023. In this study, intraoperative and postoperative indicators were measured to assess the feasibility and short-term efficacy of this technique. Our modified surgical approach involved first resecting the jejunal mesentery and dividing the jejunum during gastrointestinal tract reconstruction, followed by esophagojejunal anastomosis.
resultsThe surgery was successfully completed for all 50 patients. The operation time was 251.3 ± 43.2 min, the postoperative hospital stay was 9.3 ± 1.3 days, the time to first postoperative ventilation from the end of the surgery was 4.3 ± 1.9 days, and the time to first postoperative feeding was 7.8 ± 1.6. No complications such as intestinal obstruction, anastomotic fistula, or anastomotic stenosis were observed. One patient developed anastomotic bleeding, one patient experienced an incisional infection, and two patients had pleural effusions. All 50 patients were followed up for more than one year, with no evidence of long-term complications or recurrence.
conclusionModified π-shaped anastomosis is effective for digestive tract reconstruction during totally laparoscopic total gastrectomy (TLTG), thereby effectively preventing mucosal eversion, reducing anastomotic tension, and decreasing the incidence of anastomotic leakage.
