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 evaluate discrepancies between biopsy and resected specimens using the Japanese Classification of Gastric Carcinoma (JCGC) and tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) classification.

methodsA total of 376 consecutive paired samples from biopsy and resected gastric specimens, which were derived from curative gastrectomy for gastric cancer between 2008 and 2011, were retrospectively analyzed.

results(1) Discrepancies in the histologic type were observed between biopsy and resected specimens; 11.7% (44/376) in the JCGC and 18.1% (68/376) in TNM. In specimens diagnosed as the differentiated type from biopsy specimens, 14.4% (28/195) in the JCGC and 41.1% (67/163) in TNM were finally diagnosed as the undifferentiated type from resected specimens; and (2) the incidence of mixed-type gastric cancer was significantly higher in specimens with discrepancies than in those without in both the JCGC and TNM (both P < 0.0001); 93.2% (41/44) of specimens with discrepancies in the JCGC and 97.1% (66/68) of specimens with discrepancies in TNM were mixed-type gastric cancers.

conclusionMixed-type gastric cancer was associated with a high incidence of histologic discrepancies between biopsy and resected specimens in both the JCGC and TNM definitions. Care should be taken in deciding treatments based on diagnosis of the histologic type for mixed-type gastric cancer from biopsy specimens.
