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

Lymphoepithelioma-like gastric carcinoma (LELGC) is a rare type of gastric cancer characterized by intense lymphocytic infiltration of the stroma. LELGC is associated with Epstein-Barr virus infection and has a favorable prognosis compared with other types of gastric carcinoma. The clinical symptoms of LELGC are usually similar to those of conventional gastric carcinoma. The diagnosis of LELGC is established based on pathological, histological and immunohistochemical findings. The present report describes the cases of two patients with LELGC who underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy and computed tomography scans prior to surgery. The two patients accepted surgical treatment, and postoperative pathological and immunohistochemical analyses confirmed LELGC. Neither patient experienced local recurrence or distant metastasis during the postoperative period.
