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

introductionThe incidence of oesophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma has increased rapidly but remains controversial over the last decades. There are two crucial updates of the fifth World Health Organization (WHO) classification, including the alteration of its definition and the emphasis on the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) test.

methodsA total of 566 clinicopathological samples from patients who were diagnosed with gastric adenocarcinoma were retrospectively analyzed. We comprehensively compared the clinicopathological features of oesophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma between the fourth (V4.0) and fifth (V5.0) WHO versions. The clinicalpathological features among oesophagogastric junction, proximal and distal gastric tumors with fourth and fifth edition were also compared, respectively. Also, we discuss the correlation of HER2-expression with clinicopathological features according to the V5.0.

resultsThe results showed that the difference was mainly between oesophagogastric junction and distal adenocarcinoma in V4.0, while some were found between proximal and distal adenocarcinoma in V5.0. Tumors invading the oesophagus more than 3cm were still mainly oesophagogastric junction tumors. The expression of HER2 in oesophagogastric junction and proximal gastric adenocarcinoma was still higher than that in gastric body and distal sites.

conclusionsThe clinicopathological parameters of the oesophagogastric junction tumors changed to some extent in the updated WHO version. The proximal gastric tumors tended to be more invasive, more than those located in oesophagogastric junction. But the latter with oesophageal invasion required additional management. The HER2-expression of oesophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma is the highest. The classification of V5.0 is reasonable and worth recommendation.
