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

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection is involved in a subset of gastric carcinoma (GC) cases, and is associated with distinct clinicopathological features. The present study reports a unique case of EBV-associated early-stage GC compared with the other cases experienced in our hospital. A 72-year-old male receiving treatment for cerebral infarction underwent an esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) for suspicion of gastrointestinal bleeding. EGD revealed a type 0-I protruding lesion in the lesser curvature of the upper gastric corpus. Biopsy indicated well-differentiated adenocarcinoma. As the tumor diameter was >3 cm and the thickness of the tumor suggested submucosal invasion, laparoscopic gastrectomy was performed. Histological assessment revealed polypoid growth of an intramucosal, differentiated, tubular or papillary adenocarcinoma, with dense infiltration of lymphocytes. The carcinoma crypts were found to be EBV-positive on
