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

backgroundIn Japan, the incidence of esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) and esophagogastric junction (EGJ) adenocarcinoma is expected to increase and that of gastric adenocarcinoma (GAC) is expected to decrease due to Westernization of the diet and the decreasing prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection. However, few reports about these trends have included the latest data, and no reports about the time trend in the incidence of EGJ adenocarcinoma have focused on the etiologies (gastric cardia adenocarcinoma or EAC, including Barrett's adenocarcinoma). We therefore investigated the time trends in the incidence of these cancers by including the latest data.

methodsFirst, we investigated the time trends in EAC and GAC using population-based cancer registry data in Osaka Prefecture (1985-2014). We then investigated the time trend in superficial EGJ adenocarcinoma with clinicopathological features at Osaka International Cancer Institute (2006-2017).

resultsFrom 1985 to 2014 in Osaka Prefecture, the incidence of EAC gradually increased in both sexes, while that of GAC in men did not significantly change and that in women decreased. The ratio of the EAC/GAC incidence increased 3.5 times in men and 1.8 times in women. In the secondary time trend survey for EGJ adenocarcinoma, the numbers of patients with endoscopic Barrett's esophagus and those without gastric mucosal atrophy increased, and the number of patients with lesions located above the EGJ line and histologically diagnosed as Barrett's adenocarcinoma increased.

conclusionsThe incidence of EAC and superficial EGJ adenocarcinoma with characteristics similar to those of EAC, including Barrett's adenocarcinoma, might be increasing.
