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: Remnant gastric cancer (RGC) is an entity for which completion gastrectomy (CG) is considered the standard treatment. However, subtotal resection of the remnant stomach (SR) may preserve postoperative nutritional status while maintaining oncologic safety. Comparative data between these two procedures in RGC remain limited. Methods: A retrospective multicenter cohort study was conducted involving 133 patients who underwent surgery for RGC at five institutions. Patients were categorized into SR ( Results: Operative time was significantly shorter in the SR group than in the CG group (236.4 vs. 317.3 min; Conclusions: Subtotal gastrectomy for RGC was associated with reduced operative time and minimized postoperative weight loss without compromising oncologic safety. These findings suggest that SR may be a feasible alternative to CG in selected patients with RGC.
