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

We present the case of a 57-year-old woman who experienced 3 weeks of intermittent tarry stools and epigastric pain. She had a 25-year history of smoking and a 12-year history of heavy alcohol consumption but had discontinued both 12 years prior. Laboratory investigations revealed elevated anti-H. Pylori IgG antibody levels. Conventional upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed two lesions. Magnifying endoscopy with narrow-band imaging showed the characteristic appearance of a diffuse-type gastric cancer 0-IIc lesion with a demarcation line and abnormal vessels ("wavy micro-vessels" and a "cork-screw pattern"). There was also "ballooning" of the crypts and a "tree-like vessel appearance" in an "unstructured area" characteristic of gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma with ulceration. Accurate target biopsies were obtained. We performed a laparoscopic total gastrectomy with D1 lymphadenectomy. Pathological examination revealed poorly differentiated stage I adenocarcinoma of the stomach with features of signet ring cell carcinoma as well as stage I mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma. In conclusion, we encountered a case of co-existing diffuse-type gastric cancer and gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma. Magnifying endoscopy with narrow-band imaging was effective for diagnosing these two co-existing tumors and resulted in the collection of adequate biopsy specimens allowing for an accurate pathological diagnosis and optimal treatment.
