Prediction of T stage in gastric carcinoma by enhanced CT and oral contrast-enhanced ultrasonography.

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
backgroundThe aim of this study is to explore the values of enhanced CT and oral contrast-enhanced ultrasonography on preoperative T stage in gastric carcinoma.
methodsForty patients with gastric carcinoma, including 27 males and 13 females, were confirmed by endoscopy, operation, and pathology. The median age of these patients was 49 years old (25 to 73 years). There were 19 cases of well-differentiated adenocarcinoma, 13 cases of poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma, 5 cases of signet ring cell carcinoma, and 4 cases of mucinous adenocarcinoma by pathology. All these patients were examined by both enhanced CT and ultrasound examination simultaneously 1 week before surgery. T staging in all these gastric carcinomas was carried out by enhanced CT or oral contrast-enhanced ultrasonography, respectively, or by both of them. The statistical difference between T stage by imaging and pathological T stage was analyzed.
resultsIn this study, there were 5 cases with T1 stage, 9 cases with T2 stage, 20 cases with T3 stage, and 6 cases with T4 stage by pathology; 5 cases with T1 stage, 7 cases with T2 stage, 22 cases with T3 stage, and 6 cases with T4 stage by enhanced CT imaging with an accuracy of 75.00%; 6 cases with T1 stage, 7 cases with T2 stage, 22 cases with T3 stage, and 5 cases with T4 stage by ultrasonography examination, with an accuracy of 77.50%; and 4 cases with T1 stage, 10 cases with T2 stage, 19 cases with T3 stage, and 7 cases with T4 stage by both enhanced CT imaging and ultrasonography examination, with an accuracy of 85.00%. The accuracy of T staging in gastric carcinoma by both enhanced CT and ultrasound was higher than that either by enhanced CT or by ultrasound, respectively (P < 0.05). The anastomosis degree of the gastric carcinoma between enhanced CT and ultrasonography was κ = 0.404.
conclusionsCombination diagnosis of enhanced CT and oral contrast-enhanced ultrasonography is helpful to improve the accuracy of T staging of gastric carcinoma before operations.
