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

A 53-year-old man underwent an esophagogastroduodenoscopy that showed a 20-mm subepithelial lesion in the middle gastric body. Endoscopic ultrasound revealed a hypoechoic mass located in the submucosa. Biopsy specimens revealed a benign gastric mucosa with severe lymphocytic infiltration in the submucosa. Malignant lymphoma or gastric cancer with lymphoid stroma was suspected. We performed endoscopic submucosal dissection for definitive diagnosis. Histological examination showed undifferentiated adenocarcinoma, which showed positive Epstein-Barr virus-encoded RNA in situ hybridization results, invading the submucosa mixed with dense lymphocytic infiltration. Thus, Epstein-Barr virus-positive gastric cancer with lymphoid stroma was diagnosed. Gastric cancer with lymphoid stroma is a rare subtype of gastric cancer, which is associated with Epstein-Barr virus infection; it sometimes appears as a subepithelial lesion, which makes it difficult to diagnose using standard biopsy. Endoscopic submucosal dissection was useful in obtaining a sufficient tissue for full histological assessment, including immunostaining.
