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

aimTo investigate the association and quantify the relationship between diabetes mellitus (DM) and gastric cancer (GC) by an updated meta-analysis.

methodsThe initial PubMed search identified 1233 publications. Studies not reporting GC or those not reporting actual number of GC were excluded. Twelve pertinent studies were retrieved from the PubMed database or from a manual search and considered for the meta-analysis. Pooled risk ratios and 95%CI were estimated by a random-effects model. Subgroup analysis was performed according to gender or geographical regions. Heterogeneity and publication bias were evaluated by I (2) and funnel plot analysis, respectively.

resultsDM was significantly associated with GC with a RR of 1.41 (P = 0.006) (95%CI: 1.10-1.81). Subgroup analyses revealed that both sexes showed a significant association with GC, with a greater magnitude of risk in females (RR = 1.90; 95%CI: 1.27-2.85; P = 0.002) than in males (RR = 1.24; 95%CI: 1.08-1.43; P = 0.002). In addition, the link between DM and GC was significant in East Asian DM patients (RR = 1.77; 95%CI: 1.38-2.26; P < 0.00001) but not in Western DM patients (RR = 1.23; 95%CI: 0.90-1.68; P = 0.2). There was no evidence of publication bias, but the results indicated significant heterogeneity.

conclusionThis updated meta-analysis has provided evidence of positive DM-GC associations. The limited information on potentially important clinical confounding factors in each study deserves further investigation.
