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

Chronic inflammation is associated with increased risk of gastric cancer (GC), and GC risk is significantly associated with lifestyle. The aim of the present study was to explore the association between serum inflammatory cytokines and lifestyle factors in GC. A total of 20 serum inflammatory cytokines were measured in a hospital-based case-control population with 142 GC patients and 98 healthy controls. Controls without the selected healthy lifestyle factors were regarded as baseline, and correlation analysis was conducted to establish the association between serum inflammatory cytokines and lifestyle factors. The results demonstrated that several lifestyle factors (including eating fried and salty foods, eating quickly, smoking and drinking) could increase the risk of GC, while only eating fresh fruits could decrease the risk of GC. Correlation analysis revealed that increased serum interleukin (IL)-12/IL-23P40 levels was associated with GC risk as significant differences were observed in all lifestyle factors. Increased serum IL-8 was closely associated with smoking in GC patients, while increased IL-17α and IL-8 levels were associated with GC patients who ate salty foods. Increased IL-10 and decreased TGF-β levels were also associated with GC patients who ate fresh fruits. In conclusion, GC risk was strongly affected by lifestyle factors, which may regulate the expression of inflammatory cytokines and promote gastric carcinogenesis.
