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

objectiveThis study aimed at evaluating the efficacy of the questionnaire-based prediction model in an independent prospective cohort.

methodsA cluster-randomized controlled trial was conducted in Changsha, Harbin, Luoshan, and Sheyang in eastern China in 2015-2017. A total of 182 villages/communities were regarded as clusters, and allocated to screening arm or control arm randomly. Face-to-face interview through a questionnaire interview, including of relevant risk factors of gastric cancer, was administered for each subject. Participants were further classified into high-risk or low-risk groups based on their exposure to risk factors. All participants were followed up until December 31, 2019. Cumulative incidence rates from gastric cancer between high-risk and low-risk groups were calculated and compared using the log-rank test. Cox proportional hazard regression models were applied to estimate hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI).

resultsTotally, 89,914 residents were recruited with a mean follow-up of 3.47 years. And 42,015 (46.73%) individuals were classified into high-risk group and 47,899 (53.27%) subjects were categorized into low-risk group. Gastric cancer was diagnosed in 131 participants, of which 91 were in high-risk group. Compared with the low-risk participants, high-risk individuals were more likely to develop gastric cancer (adjusted HR=2.15, 95% CI, 1.23-3.76). The sensitivity of the questionnaire-based model was estimated at 61.82% (95% CI, 47.71-74.28) in a general population.

conclusionsOur questionnaire-based model is effective at identifying high-risk individuals for gastric cancer.
