A multicenter observational study on the clinicopathological features of gastric cancer in young patients.
Observational study in Journal of gastroenterology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers.
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.
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
backgroundThe details of gastric cancer in young patients remain unclear because of the low prevalence of the disease. This study aimed to clarify the clinicopathological features and prognosis of gastric cancer in young patients.
methodsFrom January 2007 to January 2016, patients in their 20s and 30s who were diagnosed with primary gastric cancer at 4 hospitals were enrolled. Their clinical characteristics and prognosis were evaluated.
resultsThe total number of patients was 72. The median age was 36 years, and the ratio of males to females was 1:1. The dominant histological type was undifferentiated type (66/72, 92%). Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) was positive in 81% (54/67). Although there were some asymptomatic patients in stages I-III, all stage IV patients had some clinical symptoms at the diagnosis. The percentage of stage IV was significantly higher in patients in their 20s than in those in their 30s (75% vs. 25%, P < 0.001). The Kaplan-Meier method showed that the overall survival of patients in their 20s was significantly lower than that of patients in their 30s (P = 0.037).
conclusionsA high rate of H. pylori infection was revealed in young gastric cancer patients. The patients in their 20s had a worse prognosis than those in their 30s. We should consider examining the H. pylori infection status for young patients as well as older patients to identify high-risk populations.
