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

The incidence of Helicobacter pylori-negative gastric cancer is very low. A 60-year-old man was referred to Tokai University Hospital from a local clinic because of eosinophilia. The laboratory data revealed prominent eosinophilia, with a white blood cell count of 7,900 /μL and increased eosinophil granulocyte level of 1,659 /μL. After an examination for secondary eosinophilia, esophagogastroduodenoscopy showed an enlarged gastric fold in the corpus, suggesting type 4 gastric cancer. Repeated esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) and a re-biopsy demonstrated poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma and signet ring cell carcinoma. The patient was negative for Helicobacter pylori infection according to the serum anti-Helicobacter pylori antibody, culture and histopathological findings.
