The usefulness of ulcer size and location in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant gastric ulcer.
Article in Wiener klinische Wochenschrift, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
aimGastric cancer can present as a gastric ulcer, which can mimic a benign gastric ulcer. In this study, we aimed to investigate the value of gastric ulcer size and location in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant gastric ulcers.
methodsWe reviewed retrospectively the upper endocopic findings of 14,400 patients between April 2008 and March 2010. Total 276 patients with gastric ulcers were divided into two groups according to histopathological examination. Ulcer location, size, age, and gender were compared between the two groups.
resultsThe predominant region of ulcer location was the corpus for the malignant ulcer group and the antrum for the benign ulcer group. The malignant ulcer ratios according to region in the whole group were: cardia 19 ulcers with 14 malignant (73.68 %), corpus 70 ulcers with 38 malignant (54.2 %), angulus 45 ulcers with 6 malignant (13.3 %), and antrum 142 ulcers with 20 malignant (14.8 %), respectively. The median size of ulcer was significantly higher in the malignant ulcer group compared with the benign ulcer group (p < 0.001).
conclusionsThese results suggest that the location and diameter of gastric ulcers may be used as a marker of risk factors for developing gastric cancer.
