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

backgroundLimited evidence and contradictory results have been reported regarding the impact of signet ring cell carcinoma (SRC) and mucinous gastric cancer (MGC) classifications on the prognosis of gastric cancer (GC).

resultsInformation on 6017 patients and 266 patients was extracted from the SEER database and our hospital records, respectively. We found that patients with MGC had a better survival rate than those with SRC (P=0.012), but in the early stage, MGC was a risk factor for a poor prognosis. After PSM, for both patients from the SEER database and our hospital, the prognosis of patients with SRC was poorer than that of patients with MGC (P<0.05), but patients with MGC in early-stage GC showed poorer survival. Additionally, SRC was demonstrated to be a risk factor in the multivariate competing risk regression model for cancer-specific survival.

conclusionPatients with SRC may have a worse prognosis than those with MGC, but for early-stage GC, patients with SRC have a better prognosis than those with MGC.

methodPatients from the SEER database and from our hospital diagnosed with SRC or MGC were included in a Cox regression analysis, multivariate competing risk model and propensity score matching (PSM) analysis.
