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

Gastric adenoma is a precancerous lesion of the stomach and its malignant transformation is thought to result from accumulative series of gene alterations. The aim of this study was to determine the pattern of chromosomal changes during gastric carcinogenesis. Pairs of adenoma and carcinoma tissues from 15 gastrectomy cases containing both adenomas and carcinomas in the same (adjacent pairs, 6 cases) and different (non-adjacent pairs, 9 cases) lesions, were analyzed for chromosomal alterations of 39 non-acrocentric chromosomal arms by comparative genomic hybridization (CGH). CGH analysis identified frequent chromosomal alterations in most of the gastric adenomas (14/15, 93%) and all of the carcinomas. The mean number of chromosomal alterations was higher in carcinoma (5.5 for adenoma and 11.7 for carcinoma; P = 0.006, by nonparametric Wilcoxon's test). Losses on the short arm of chromosome 17 were most common in both adenomas (43%) and carcinomas (67%). The pattern of chromosomal alterations in paired gastric adenomas and carcinomas showed greater similarity compared to the non-case pairs and this similarity was increased in the adjacent pairs. Deletion mapping analysis on chromosome 17p also demonstrated that the conserved deletion area was more frequent in the adjacent pairs. Among these 6 adjacent pairs, all had common deletion areas. In contrast, among the 9 non-adjacent pairs, 2 (22%) had common area of deletion, 5 (56%) showed deletion only in the carcinoma, and the remaining 2 (22%) had no deletion on 17p, suggesting diverse genetic changes might be involved in the multiple tumor formation. Our results that common clonal genetic changes between adjacent pairs of gastric adenomas and carcinomas and accumulated genetic changes in the carcinomas provide evidences for the stepwise mode of gastric carcinogenesis through the accumulation of a series of genetic alterations.
