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

BACKGROUND Age is a prognostic factor for multiple malignancies. In this study, we aimed to assess the effect of age on the cancer-specific survival (CSS) of patients with gastric signet-ring cell carcinoma (SRC). MATERIAL AND METHODS Information on patients with gastric SRC was extracted from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database. Chi-squared tests were used to demonstrate distribution differences, and Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox regression models were used to analyze the impact of age on CSS. RESULTS A total of 4596 patients were enrolled and divided into 3 subgroups according to age (<45, 45-74, and >74 years old). Higher percentages of T4, N2, and M1 disease were observed in the <45-year-old group (all P<0.001). Kaplan-Meier plots showed that the youngest group had the most favorable 5-year CSS rate (36.3%), which remained true after stratification according to tumor stage. Multivariate Cox regression models demonstrated a poorer survival outcome for >74-year-old than for <45-year-old patients (hazard ratio 1.841, 95% confidence interval 1.636-2.071; P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS Young age is associated with improved survival, even though younger patients generally present with a more advanced-stage disease.
