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

backgroundHepatoid adenocarcinoma of the stomach (HAS) is a rare type of primary gastric cancer, and most previous studies have reported that HAS has a poor prognosis due to its aggressive biological behavior. The aim of this study was to compare the prognosis of HAS to that of gastric signet ring cell carcinoma (SRC).

methodsThis was a single-center, retrospective, observational cohort study (January 2010 to January 2016) of gastric cancer patients with pathological HAS and SRC. Overall survival was compared between HAS and SRC patients. We used univariate Cox regression, multivariate Cox regression, propensity score matching (PSM), inverse probability of treatment weighting, standardized mortality ratio weighting, standardized mortality ratio weighting, and overlap weighting to perform a prognostic analysis.

resultsA total of 725 (672 SRC and 53 HAS) patients were included. After nearest-neighbor 1:4 PSM, 200 SRC patients and 50 HAS patients were matched. Only in univariate Cox regression analysis with the cohort before PSM did HAS show a significantly worse prognosis than SRC [hazard ratio (HR), 1.66; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.02-2.69,

conclusionBased on our study, there was no statistically significant difference in overall survival between HAS and gastric SRC patients. However, in patients with an advanced tumor stage, HAS may have a worse overall survival than SRC.
