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
Objective: Proximal gastrectomy (PG) is increasingly preferred over total gastrectomy for upper gastric cancer to preserve gastric function, yet postoperative reflux remains a critical challenge. The purpose of this study was to compare and analyze the clinical effects and quality of life following totally laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy with esophagogastrostomy using the overlap method combined with a gastric remnant "U" shaped fold (EGOUF) vs. conventional laparoscopic-assisted esophagogastrostomy. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted involving 60 patients who underwent laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy between January 2023 and March 2025. According to the digestive tract reconstruction method, patients were divided into two groups: the EGOUF group and the non-EGOUF group, each comprising 30 cases. We evaluated the efficacy of the reconstruction method by observing perioperative outcomes, postoperative complications, and short-term nutritional status over a follow-up period of 3-6 months. Results: After 3 months, the incidence of reflux esophagitis in the EGOUF group was significantly lower than in the non-EGOUF group (6.7% vs. 86.7%, Conclusions: The EGOUF technique offers a superior alternative for digestive tract reconstruction following laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy. Compared to the non-EGOUF group, patients undergoing EGOUF experienced significantly lower rates of reflux esophagitis, reduced intraoperative blood loss, quicker postoperative recovery, and better short-term nutritional status, leading to an improved quality of life.
