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

Introduction: Duodenal stump leakage (DSL) is a serious complication after laparoscopic gastrectomy due to gastric cancer (GC). It is associated with increased morbidity and mortality rates, prolonged hospital stay, and complex management. Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate whether a novel, technically simple clipping technique could help reduce the rate of DSL. Materials and methods: This retrospective multicenter study included patients who underwent laparoscopic radical gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy for gastric adenocarcinoma at 2 tertiary centers. The patients were categorized according to the use of duodenal stump clipping during the procedure. Demographic, clinical, intraoperative, and postoperative variables were compared. The risk factors for DSL were evaluated using univariate and multivariable analyses. Results: A total of 381 patients at a median (interquartile range [IQR]) age of 63 (55-71) years were analyzed; 175 (45.9%) underwent duodenal stump clipping, and 248 (65.1%) were men. The incidence of DSL was lower in the clipping group than the nonclipping group (1.7% vs 5.8%; Conclusions: Duodenal clipping is a simple and technically feasible method for reinforcing the duodenal stump during laparoscopic GC surgery.
