Gastric Cancer Incidence and Mortality in French Guiana: South American or French?
Review in Journal of gastrointestinal cancer, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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.
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
purposeGastric cancer is a frequent cancer in the tropics. The objective was to review a decade of gastric cancer data, and to study its spatial and temporal trends.
methodsThe cancer registry of French Guiana compiled exhaustive data on gastric cancer throughout French Guiana between 2005 and 2014. Age-standardized incidence and mortality rates were computed.
resultsWith 187 new cases recorded, gastric cancer ranked 6th (4.3%). It was more frequent in men than in women. The median age at diagnosis was 62 years for men and 65 years for women. The incidence rate standardized to the world population over the period 2005-2014 was 14.3 cases of gastric cancer per 100,000 man-years and 7.3 per 100,000 woman-years. The death rate from gastric cancer, standardized to the world population over the period 2005-2014, was 8.6 deaths from gastric cancer per 100,000 man-years and 3.4 per 100,000 women-years. These measures were lower than what is reported in Latin America, similar to Martinique and Guadeloupe-two tropical French territories-and higher than in France.
conclusionsGastric cancer affected more males and the median age was younger than in France. Standardized incidence and mortality rates for gastric cancer in French Guiana were between those of France and those of Latin America, and they were comparable to those of the French West Indies. The downward trend in a context of rapid economic growth suggests further gains that could be achieved by improving electricity, water, and sanitation coverage throughout the territory despite challenging geography, and better access to care and Helicobacter pylori eradication.
