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

backgroundThe question that whether the criteria for endoscopic resection of early gastric non-cardia cancer (GNCC) is appropriate for early gastric cardia cancer (GCC) remains unclear. Thus, our aim was to evaluate the influence of tumor location on lymph node metastasis (LNM) and overall survival (OS) for early gastric cancer (GC).

methodsA total of 5440 early GC patients in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database were identified. Multivariable analysis was performed to evaluate the influence of tumor location on LNM and OS for early GC.

resultsThe rate of LNM was 17.48% for early GCC patients (232/1327) and 18.62% for early GNCC patients (766/4113). The early GCC patients experienced no significantly different risk of LNM compared with the early GNCC patients (adjusted OR 0.92, 95% CI 0.76-1.12, P = 0.405). The early GC patients were further stratified by node status. Tumor location was not a predictor of OS for node-negative early GC patients (adjusted HR 1.07, 95% CI 0.96-1.21, P = 0.225) but a predictor of OS for node-positive early GC patients (adjusted HR 1.80, 95% CI 1.48-2.20, P < 0.001).

conclusionsTumor location was not a predictor of LNM for early GC patients. Moreover, tumor location was not a predictor of OS for node-negative early GC patients. Thus, the criteria for endoscopic resection of early GNCC might be appropriate for the treatment of early GCC.
