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

Recently, gastric fundic atrophy is reported to be an independent risk factor for esophageal squamous-cell carcinoma (ESCC). The aim of this study is to investigate the acid secretory level in ESCC in a case-control study. From April 2004 to March 2008, 100 consecutive subjects with early ESCC and 100 age- and sex-matched asymptomatic controls were prospectively enrolled. Gastrin-stimulated acid output was assessed by endoscopic gastrin test. Conditional regression analyses were used to adjust for other potential confounders. Multivariate analyses revealed a strong association between profound hypochlorhydria and ESCC with odds ratio (95% confidence interval): 6.0 (1.9-18.4). The association remained significant after adjusting for the effect of gastric atrophy as a covariate. The association became stronger as the ESCC developed more distal site of the esophagus. This study indicates that profound hypochlorhydria is a strong independent risk factor for ESCC even after adjusting for the influence of gastric atrophy.
