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

introductionAccording to statistics, gastric cancer remains one of the most common causes of death due to neoplastic disease in the world's population. It is a common conception that this type of cancer mostly affects people in their fifth or sixth decade of life. So, when it comes to young people, for example in their twenties or early thirties, who present to a doctor with symptoms suggesting a cancer of the gastrointestinal tract, these are quite often ignored because of their young age.

aimIn this study we at The Second Department of General and Gastroenterological Surgery of the Medical University of Białystok, Poland decided to enlighten the problem of stomach cancer in people under 40 years old as a cause of death and complications most likely because of an incorrect diagnosis at the beginning of therapy. MATERIAL AND

methodsMajor analysis involved 350 cases of gastrointestinal tumours treated surgically, of which 14 cases (7 men and 7 women) were patients aged 18-39 years diagnosed with different stages of gastric cancer.

resultsStatistical analysis has shown that gastric cancer in women occurred much earlier than in men, and the average survival time was 16 months after the surgery.

conclusionsBecause of the false suggestion that gastric cancer affects mostly older people, there is a risk of ignoring the symptoms in young people and finding advanced neoplastic lesions at the time of diagnosis, which has a negative effect on long-term treatment results.
