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

objectiveThe aim of this study was to investigate the value of the combined expression of the gastric mucosal differentiation protein pepsinogen C (PGC) and gastric cancer (GC)-associated antigen MG7 for the diagnosis of GC and prediction of the development from precancerous conditions to GC.

methodsThe gastric mucosal biopsies of 285 subjects enrolled from a region with a high incidence of GC were obtained and histopathologically examined. Subjects testing negative for GC (n=208) were followed up from 1998 to 2015. The levels of PGC and MG7 in the biopsies were determined by immunohistochemistry.

resultsPGC was positive in 91.4% of the non-atrophic gastritis, 26.5% of the atrophic gastritis, and 0% of the GC. MG7 was positive in 15.0% of the non-atrophic gastritis, 82.4% of the atrophic gastritis, and 94.8% of the GC. The non-atrophic gastritis group was predominantly "PGC+MG7-". The atrophic gastritis and GC groups were predominantly "PGC-MG7+". The rate of GC in subjects with "PGC-MG7+" staining was 113.4-fold higher [95% confidence interval (95% CI): 15.3-869.4, P<0.001] than that in subjects with other staining patterns. The sensitivity and specificity of the "PGC-MG7+" pattern were 92.2% and 78.8% for the detection of GC and 77.2% and 97.9% for GC and precancerous disease, respectively. In the follow-up cohort of non-GC subjects, the risk of developing GC was higher in those with the "PGC-MG7+" staining pattern.

conclusionsOur data suggest that the "PGC-MG7+" pattern can be employed as a useful follow-up panel for detecting individuals with a high risk of GC, and the dynamic assessment of the follow-up panel needs multi-centre large-scale validation in the future.
