Prevention is better than cure.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The vast majority of gastric cancers are sporadic. However, 1-3% arise as a result of inherited gastric cancer predisposition syndromes, generally referred to as hereditary diffuse gastric cancer (HDGC). Of those families that fulfill the clinical criteria for HGDC only 25% have a CDH1 germline mutation. No reliable surveillance technique exists for individuals with HDGC. Difficult decisions have therefore to be made by mutation carriers to proceed with prophylactic total gastrectomy, or undergo lifelong annual surveillance. We present a case of the management of a patient with a documented CDH1 mutation and briefly review the available literature.
