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

aimsTo investigate the roles of vascular adventitial fibroblastic cells in tumour stroma, the distribution of vascular adventitial fibroblastic cells was studied in gastric carcinomas.

methodsIn total, 50 surgically resected gastric carcinomas (43 intestinal type, and seven solid type) and their normal tissues were examined. Vascular adventitial fibroblastic cells are positive for CD34 but negative for CD31. To differentiate vascular adventitial fibroblastic cells from vascular endothelial cells, immunostaining for CD34 and CD31 was performed. Immunostaining for high molecular weight caldesmon was also performed to recognise vascular media.

resultsIn normal gastric tissues, CD34 positive fibroblastic cells were found just outside the vascular media, namely vascular adventitial fibroblastic cells. In contrast, all of the 43 intestinal-type and seven solid-type gastric carcinomas had no vascular adventitial fibroblastic cells in the tumour stroma.

conclusionsThese results suggest that a lack of vascular adventitial fibroblastic cells is associated with tumour stroma formation in intestinal-type and solid-type gastric carcinomas.
