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

Both environmental and genetic factors have a role in the aetiology of gastric cancer. The nature of the genetic factors has not been well-studied and, outside of a few rare cancer syndromes, the genes involved have not been identified. Having a first-degree relative with gastric cancer is a consistent risk factor for gastric cancer, although the magnitude of the odds ratio (OR) associated with a positive family history varies with the ethnic group and with the geographic region. In published case-control studies, the odds ratio varies from approximately 2 to 10, depending on the country. Unlike other common adult cancers, the risk of gastric cancer in migrants is similar to that of the population of origin and does not approach that of the host population in the first generation post-migration. It is hoped that molecular studies, including genomewide association studies (GWAS), will illuminate the genetic factors underlying this important association.
