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

purposeTo investigate the correlation between ABC risk assessment and radiological findings of gastric mucosa and to propose an improved method for gastric cancer screening. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe evaluated 318 participants with Helicobacter pylori (Hp) antibody titers, serum pepsinogen (PG) and upper GI radiography and then classified them into three groups: A, double-negative; B, Hp-positive, PG-negative; C, PG-positive. Group A was subclassified as: A-1, Hp antibody titer <3.0 U/ml; A-2, Hp antibody titer ≥3.0 U/ml. Results for group A and non-A (B or C) participants and radiological findings of gastric mucosa (fold and area gastricae) were analyzed retrospectively.

resultsRadiological findings differed significantly between the 207 A-1 and 98 non-A group. Odds ratios were 17.72 for fold distribution, 10.63 for fold thickness, 6.10 for fold characteristics, and 10.62 for area gastricae. Presence of ≥2 risk factors offered 90.3 % sensitivity, 94.7 % specificity, and 93.3 % accuracy. Nine (69.2 %) of the 13 A-2 group participants and 11 (5.3 %) A-1 group participants had a risk for gastric cancer according to radiological findings.

conclusionA good correlation exists between ABC classifications and radiological findings for gastric cancer risk, but some discrepant cases exist. We recommend both methods as screening for gastric cancer.
