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

backgroundUsing data from the U.S. National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results program, we analyzed stomach carcinoma incidence patterns by both histologic type and anatomic site.

methodsWe calculated age-adjusted (2000 U.S. standard) rates for 1978 to 2005, and for five time periods from 1978-1983 through 2001-2005 according to histologic type and anatomic site, separately and jointly. We also analyzed rates by race, gender, and age group.

resultsDuring 1978 to 2005, more than 54,000 stomach carcinoma cases were diagnosed among residents of the nine Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results areas. Total stomach carcinoma rates declined by 34% from the 1978-1983 to the 2001-2005 time periods. By histologic type, intestinal rates decreased consistently, whereas those for diffuse rates increased through 2000 and declined in recent years. By anatomic site, cardia rates increased during earlier years and then decreased, whereas rates for all other sites declined. When considered jointly by histologic type and anatomic site, intestinal carcinoma rates decreased for all sites except the cardia; diffuse rates increased through 2000 and decreased in recent years for all sites except the overlapping/nonspecified sites. Both diffuse and intestinal rates were lowest among whites, intermediate among blacks, and highest among the other, primarily Asian, races, with only modest gender differences for the diffuse type. In contrast, cardia carcinoma rates were highest among whites and were notably higher among males, especially whites among whom the male/female rate ratio was five to one.

conclusionsStomach carcinoma incidence patterns differ by histologic type, anatomic site, race, gender, and age, suggesting that etiologic heterogeneity should be pursued in future research.
