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

backgroundPrimary gastric adenosquamous carcinoma (ASC) is a rare subset of ASC. This study aims to investigate the clinicopathological features, diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes of primary gastric ASC.

methodsThe medical records of 13 consecutive patients with primary gastric ASC between January 2010 and July 2014 from a single institutional database were reviewed.

resultsMale predominance was observed (M/F = 10/3) among the patients, and their median age was 62 years (range: 43 to 79 years). The primary lesions were most often found in the upper third of the stomach, with a median tumor size of 5 cm (range: 2.25 cm to 10.5 cm). Ten patients underwent radical resections (R0 resection, 76.9%), while three patients had palliative resections (R1/R2 resection, 23.1%). Twelve patients had lymph node metastasis at the time of surgery. Adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma components in lymph node were found in eight and two cases, respectively, while two patients had both squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma components. In terms of the TNM staging system, stages IIB, IIIA, IIIB, IIIC, and IV were detected in 2 (15.4%), 2 (15.4%), 1 (7.7%), 5 (38.5%), and 3 (23.1%) patients, respectively. The median follow-up period was 22 months (range: 5 to 52 months); during which, four patients were still alive and eight patients died because of tumor progression. The 1-, 2-, and 3-year survival rates were 76.9%, 46.2%, and 15.4%, respectively.

conclusionsPrimary gastric ASC has a very poor prognosis, and both squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma components have distant metastasis potential.
