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

backgroundLymphatic vessel invasion (LV) has been regarded as a prognostic factor in some solid tumors. The aim was to clarify the impact of lymphatic vessel invasion on survival in curative resected gastric cancer.

methodsIn this retrospective study, we reviewed the records of 1,024 patients who underwent curative resection for gastric cancer. Among all of the studied patients, 285 of them (27.8%) had lymphatic vessel invasion.

resultsThere were significant differences in tumor size, tumor location, depth of invasion, and lymph node metastasis (LN) between the patients with lymphatic vessel invasion and those without. The 5-year survival rates in patients were 80.1%, 59.2%, 40.9%, and 30.5% for LN-LV-, LN-LV+, LN+LV-, and LN+LV+ group, respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed that age, tumor location, the depth of invasion, and lymph node metastasis were independent prognostic factors for curative resected gastric cancer. Lymphatic vessel invasion was not an independent prognostic factor in node-positive gastric cancer; however, it was true in node-negative gastric cancer.

conclusionLymphatic vessel invasion is one of the independent prognostic factors for node-negative gastric cancer after curative resection.
