Comparison of the long-term impact of laparoscopy and open surgery on the prognosis of patients with locally advanced gastric cancer.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
Currently, the choice of surgical procedure for patients with locally advanced gastric cancer remains controversial. This study aimed to investigate the difference in prognosis between laparoscopy and open surgery in patients with locally advanced gastric cancer and explored the potential patients suitable for laparoscopy. Gastric cancer patients who underwent surgical treatment at Zhejiang Cancer Hospital from 2008 to 2019 were included in this study. We found that surgical method was an independent risk factor for the prognosis of patients with gastric cancer (p < 0.01). The prognosis of laparoscopic surgery is better than that of open surgery two years after surgery (p < 0.05) but shows no difference in overall survival (p > 0.05); in patients with locally advanced cancer, a better prognosis is demonstrated as early as six months after undergoing laparoscopic surgery (p < 0.05). Patients who were male, aged over 60 years, had a history of smoking and drinking, had tumors located in the upper stomach, exhibited poor tumor differentiation, and had normal serum AFP and CA72-4 levels experienced significantly better survival with laparoscopic surgery compared to open surgery (p < 0.05). Finally, a prognostic model in locally advanced cancer patients was developed. Our study suggests that laparoscopy for patients with locally advanced-stage gastric cancer can lead to a better prognosis in these specific situations.
