Clinicopathologic characteristics of early gastric cancer according to specific intragastric location.
Article in BMC gastroenterology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
backgroundAlthough the incidence of early gastric cancer (EGC) continues to rise, there have been few studies on the intra-gastric distribution and locational characteristics of EGCs. In addition, there has been no attempt to visualize the intra-gastric distribution of EGCs using a merged tumor map.
methodsWe investigated the anatomic distribution of 644 cases of EGCs and analyzed the correlation between clinicopathologic findings and location by dividing areas of the stomach vertically and transversely. Merged tumor maps were generated using 310 surgically resected cases.
resultsEarly gastric cancer was most commonly located in the antrum (57.5%) along the lesser curvature (37.8%). The intra-gastric distributions were similar in the merged tumor maps. Vertically, cancers of the middle third were associated with younger patient age, larger tumor size, and more frequent poorly differentiated (PD) or signet ring cell histology than cancers in other sites. Submucosal invasion was most frequently observed in the upper third. When divided transversely, tumors in the anterior or posterior wall showed more frequent PD or signet ring cell histology than those along the lesser or greater curvatures.
conclusionsEGC is the most prevalent in the antrum along the lesser curvature and has characteristic locational features, including histologic type, invasion depth, patient age, and tumor size. These results will improve the endoscopic detection rate of EGC and help to determine endoscopic resectability.
