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 investigate the relationship between histological mixed-type of early gastric cancer (EGC) in the mucosa and submucosa and lymph node metastasis (LNM).

methodsThis study included 298 patients who underwent gastrectomy for EGC between 2005 and 2012. Enrolled lesions were divided into groups of pure differentiated (pure D), pure undifferentiated (pure U), and mixed-type according to the proportion of the differentiated and undifferentiated components observed under a microscope. We reviewed the clinicopathological features, including age, sex, location, size, gross type, lymphovascular invasion, ulceration, and LNM, among the three groups. Furthermore, we evaluated the predictors of LNM in the mucosa-confined EGC.

resultsOf the 298 patients, 165 (55.4%) had mucosa-confined EGC and 133 (44.6%) had submucosa-invasive EGC. Only 13 (7.9%) cases of mucosa-confined EGC and 30 (22.6%) cases of submucosa-invasive EGC were observed to have LNM. The submucosal invasion (OR = 4.58, 95%CI: 1.23-16.97,

conclusionFor mucosal EGC, histological mixed-type is not an independent risk factor for LNM and could be managed in the same way as the undifferentiated type.
