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

We evaluated the topography of histological gastritis, which may be risk factors for gastric cancer (GCa). A total of 530 Helicobacter pylori-positive patients underwent diagnostic upper-gastrointestinal endoscopy. Biopsy specimens were obtained from the gastric antrum and body to assess the grade of gastritis. Subjects were divided into four groups by the topography of active gastritis (antrum predominant gastritis, AP; pan-gastritis with or without corpus atrophy, Pan-1 and Pan-2; and corpus predominant gastritis, CP). A higher prevalence of GCa followed the order of Pan 2-->CP-->Pan 1-->AP. The age of patients decreased in the same order. When we set Pan 2 and CP as a high-risk group, the sensitivity and specificity for GCa detection were 77.3 and 54.7%, which were superior to the serum criteria using pepsinogens. These suggest that topography of histologic gastritis is an important marker to identify the high-risk group.
