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

backgroundGastric atrophy is a major risk factor for non-cardiac gastric cancer. Serum pepsinogen status could identify people at high-risk for gastric cancer development during our previous cohort study. However, lifestyle-related factors may additionally affect this risk. MATERIALS AND

methodsA total of 6983 Japanese were followed up by annual endoscopy in the previous study, and 43 cases of gastric cancer including two cardiac cancers developed. In most subjects, the body length and weight were measured and a questionnaire was applied to gather information regarding life habits. The risk of non-cardiac gastric cancer development during surveillance was re-analyzed based on serum pepsinogen, sex, age, body mass index (BMI), alcohol, and smoking habit.

resultsA total of 6158 subjects with 37 non-cardiac gastric cancer development (male/female = 4259/1899, mean age = 49.0, mean follow-up period = 4.79 years) were entered into analysis. In a multivariate analysis, old age (by 10 years; (odds ratio) OR, 2.8; p < .001), alcohol (weekly; OR, 2.4; p = .03), smoking (current; OR, 5.6; p = .006 and past; OR, 3.9; p = .04), and pepsinogen status ("atrophic"; OR, 6.2; p < .001) were independent risk factors, whereas BMI was not. The annual incidence of gastric cancer was 1.2% in the older subjects aged > or = 60 years with "atrophic" pepsinogen status. Moreover, it was as high as 2.9% when they had both alcohol and current smoking habits.

conclusionsOld age, alcohol, and smoking habits additionally promoted the risk for gastric cancer in subjects with gastric atrophy.
