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

Mucinous gastric carcinoma (MGC) is a specific type of gastric carcinoma, but its clinicopathologic characteristics remains obscured. Our study aimed to explore clinical features and prognostic value of MGC. This retrospective study included a total of 996 patients with primary gastric carcinoma from June 1994 to December 2006. Patients with gastric carcinoma were divided into MGC, other poorly differentiated (PD), and well or moderately differentiated groups. In all, 68 (6.8%) of 996 patients had MGC, with 599 (60.2%) cases for PD. Our study found that MGC had older age, more distant and peritoneal metastasis, but less radical gastrectomy than PD. Furthermore, the overall survival rate of MGC declined compared with PD gastric cancer (22.3% vs. 28.8%, P=0.032). Younger age (≤60 ys), smaller size (≤5 cm), Bormann III type, and lymph node metastasis were linked to poorer prognosis of MGC. However, MGC itself was not an independent prognostic factor of gastric carcinoma. In conclusion, MGC was associated with poorer prognosis than other types of gastric carcinoma but was not an independent predictive factor for survival, which called for further lucubration of this distinctive type of gastric carcinoma.
