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

backgroundGastric adenocarcinoma patients with a neuroendocrine (NE) component are frequently observed in routine practice. Several previous studies have investigated the influence of a NE component on the survival of these patients; however, the results were inconsistent.

methodsWe retrospectively investigated a consecutive series of 95 gastric adenocarcinoma patients with a NE component and 190 gastric adenocarcinoma patients without a NE component. We adopted 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, and 90% as the cut-off proportions of the NE component, respectively, and analyzed the patients' overall survival according to the proportion of the NE component.

resultsThe 1-, 3-, and 5-year actual survival rates of the patients with a NE component were 90.1%, 72.3%, and 67.2%, respectively, and for those without a NE component 94.2%, 79.3%, and 75.7%, respectively. The multivariate analysis showed that the patients with NE components >70% (HR: 2.156; 95% CI: 1.011, 4.597;

conclusionGastric adenocarcinoma patients with a NE component >70% and >90% have significantly worse survival than those without a NE component. Only the diameter of tumors and the number of metastatic lymph nodes are independent prognostic factors for gastric adenocarcinoma patients with a NE component.
