Effect of endoscopic submucosal dissection on short-term surgical outcome after radical gastrectomy: a multicenter retrospective study based on the Korean Gastric Cancer Association nationwide survey.

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
Purpose: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a minimally invasive treatment for early gastric cancer (EGC) with a low risk of lymph node metastasis. However, 17%-21% of patients require additional curative gastrectomy (ACG) due to non-curative factors. Although ESD may induce fibrosis or adhesions that could complicate subsequent surgery, its impact on surgical outcomes after ACG remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of prior ESD on postoperative outcomes following ACG. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed national data from the Korean Gastric Cancer Association, including 11,594 patients with EGC who underwent gastrectomy between January 2019 and December 2019. Of these, 913 patients underwent ACG after non-curative ESD, while 10,681 underwent primary gastrectomy. Outcomes were compared between the ACG and surgery-only groups using 1:1 propensity score matching. Results: A total of 1,826 matched patients were analyzed, with 913 patients in each group. There was no significant difference in severe complication rates (Clavien-Dindo grade ≥III) between the post-ESD group and the surgery-only group (4.4% Conclusion: This study is the first to use national data to evaluate surgical outcomes after ACG following non-curative ESD. The results suggest that prior ESD does not adversely affect postoperative outcomes, providing evidence to guide surgical decision-making in patients with EGC requiring ACG.
