Differences between protocol and review

We changed the inclusion period for the assessment of body weight loss. We initially defined the period of 12 to 24 months after surgery, but changed it from 6 months to 24 months because we focused on the short‐term effect of reconstruction methods which may affect the dose of adjuvant chemotherapy. Also, we set an inclusion period for the assessment of bile reflux since this was not defined in the published protocol.

We included one study that had mixed populations of gastric cancer and benign disease (D'Amato 1999). We did not a priori state how to handle mixed populations in the protocol. However, we considered it appropriate to include this study rather than exclude it, in order to consider all gastric cancer patients. We also performed a sensitivity analysis by excluding this study.

Following the advice from the Cochrane audit, we changed i) the criteria for judgement of heterogeneity from the threshold of I² statistics to the range of I² statistics, and ii) added the rationale for subgroups.

We adopted the formula to calculate the mean and the standard deviation from the median, ranges, and sample size.

In subgroup analyses by surgical approaches, we used three subgroups (open surgery, laparoscopic surgery, and others) in the review, although only two subgroups (open surgery and others) were prespecified in the published protocol.

We only assessed the incidence of bile reflux in the review, not the severity of remnant gastritis, although severity of remnant gastritis was prespecified in the protocol: this was because we considered that alpha‐error would increase as the number of outcomes increased, and it would not be relevant for patients when the grade of the RGB (Residue, Gastritis, Bile) classification was an indicator of efficacy.

Since the incidence of anastomotic leakage was sparse, we decided not to conduct the prespecified subgroup analysis for this outcome.

We prespecified a sensitivity analysis by excluding studies with stage IV patients, but decided not to conduct this analysis because the proportion of stage IV patients included in each study was small.

We performed a sensitivity analysis on length of hospital stay by excluding the study with skewed data to confirm the robustness of the result, although this analysis was not prespecified in the protocol. We also performed a sensitivity analysis on overall morbidity by excluding the studies for which use of the Clavien‐Dindo classification was unknown, which was not prespecified in the protocol. Likewise, we performed post hoc sensitivity analyses as follows:

  1. using a fixed‐effect model for anastomotic leakage;

  2. excluding the study that included benign disease patients and the study with co‐intervention bias for health‐related quality of life; and

  3. excluding the study that included only diabetic patients for body weight loss.

We did not note the criteria for defining disease stage in the published protocol; thus, we stated that we would use the 15th edition of the Japanese Classification of Gastric Carcinoma.

We noted who assessed the certainty of evidence in the review, as this information was not provided in the protocol.

El uso y la enseñanza del modelo PICO están muy extendidos en el ámbito de la atención sanitaria basada en la evidencia para formular preguntas y estrategias de búsqueda y para caracterizar estudios o metanálisis clínicos. PICO son las siglas en inglés de cuatro posibles componentes de una pregunta de investigación: paciente, población o problema; intervención; comparación; desenlace (outcome).

Regarding the effect size of the SMD, 0.2 represents a small effect, 0.5 a moderate effect, and 0.8 a large effect (Cohen 1988). Converting an SMD of 0.04 into a global health status score of EORTC QLQ‐C30, Roux‐en‐Y may increase it by 0.56 points (95% CI −1.53 to 2.50) (Murad 2019).

LOW3,5

Loss of body weight is expressed as a percentage (e.g. if a person of 50 kg becomes 40 kg, the loss of body weight is 20%). Weight loss can theoretically range from negative infinity to 100%, but weight gain is uncommon after gastrectomy, and weight loss of more than 50% is also uncommon. The observed values are therefore usually expected to fall within the range of 0 to 50%.

*The risk in the intervention group (and its 95% confidence interval) is based on the assumed risk in the comparison group and the relative effect of the intervention (and its 95% CI).

CI: confidence interval; EORTC QLQ‐C30: EORTC Core Quality of Life Questionnaire ‐ Core Questionnaire; RCT: randomised controlled trial; RR: risk ratio; SMD: standardised mean difference

GRADE Working Group grades of evidence
High certainty: We are very confident that the true effect lies close to that of the estimate of the effect.
Moderate certainty: We are moderately confident in the effect estimate: the true effect is likely to be close to the estimate of the effect, but there is a possibility that it is substantially different.
Low certainty: Our confidence in the effect estimate is limited: the true effect may be substantially different from the estimate of the effect.
Very low certainty: We have very little confidence in the effect estimate: the true effect is likely to be substantially different from the estimate of effect.

1Downgraded one level due to imprecision; 95% CIs are compatible with both benefit and harm.
2Downgraded one level due to risk of bias; participants were not blinded despite this being a patient‐reported outcome.
3Downgraded one level due to risk of bias; surgeons were not blinded
4Downgraded by two levels due to imprecision; 95% CIs are wide due to rare events, with possibility of substantial harm and substantial benefit, suggesting very serious imprecision.
5Downgraded one level due to imprecision; small sample size — outcome included only four studies.
6Downgraded one level due to risk of bias; outcome assessors may not have been blinded.
7Downgraded one level due to risk of bias; incomplete reporting on the results indicating data are skewed.
8Downgraded one level due to inconsistency; substantial heterogeneity was observed.
9Downgraded one level due to inconsistency; possible inconsistencies in trial results due to different diagnostic criteria used to report complications.
