CT findings in diagnosis of gastric bare area invasion: potential prognostic factors for proximal gastric carcinoma.
Article in Japanese journal of radiology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
purposeTo investigate the correlation between the preoperative CT findings in diagnosis of gastric bare area (GBA) invasion and the 3-year-overall survival (OS) of patients with proximal gastric carcinoma (PGC).
methods108 consecutive patients with PGC confirmed by biopsy underwent MDCT scan prior to gastrectomy were enrolled retrospectively from Dec 2009 to Dec 2014. GBA invasion in PGC were evaluated by measuring the direct CT signs including transmural involvement and lymph nodes in the GBA. The indirect signs were also evaluated including the infiltration of the diaphragm, gastrophrenic ligament and perigastric fat. Kaplan-Meier estimates with log-rank test and Cox proportional hazard model were used for analysis.
resultsThe two raters achieved excellent agreement. Univariate Kaplan-Meier estimates indicated that postoperative chemotherapy (p = 0.003), transmural involvement (p < 0.001), lymph nodes in the GBA (p = 0.015) and cT staging (p = 0.002) were associated with OS. Cox proportional hazard model indicated that the transmural involvement (HR = 8.194, 95% CI 2.15-31.266), diaphragm involvement (HR = 0.21, 95% CI 0.042-0.986), perigastric fat infiltration (HR = 0.125, 95% CI 0.018-0.885; HR = 0.02, 95% CI 0.001-0.264), and cT staging were independent prognostic factors for OS.
conclusionCT findings of GBA invasion in patients with PGC, not only the transmural involvement but also the indirect signs are independent prognostic factors potentially, which should be given more emphasis in future clinical practice.
