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

Gastric cancer is the fifth most common cancer in the world and the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Signet-ring cell type is the most malicious subtype. We report a case of advanced stage gastric adenocarcinoma case post-radical gastrectomy who presented with nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Though there were no signs of bowel obstruction on abdominal CT and PET imagine studies, and the cytology of body fluid was initially negative, the patient had unilateral malignant pleural effusion, a moderate amount of ascites and bilateral hydronephrosis. After laparoscopic surgery, the patient was diagnosed with local cancer relapse causing jejunojejunal anastomosis obstruction and peritoneal carcinomatosis causing hydronephrosis. We urge broadening the indication of EGD in the evaluation of advanced stage gastric carcinoma to include mechanic bowel obstruction.
