Prevalence of Gastric Cancers among Patients Undergoing Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopies in a Tertiary Care Hospital in Nepal: A Descriptive Cross-sectional Study.
Article in JNMA; journal of the Nepal Medical Association, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
introductionGastric cancer is a common malignancy of the upper gastrointestinal tract. Gastric cancer is a common cause of death worldwide. This research aimed to study the prevalence of gastric cancer among patients undergoing upper gastrointestinal endoscopies.
methodsA descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Medicine at Manipal Teaching Hospital, Nepal, from January 2018 to June 2020. A total of 2640 subjects underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopies over the study period. Ethical approval was taken from the institutional review committee of Manipal College of Medical Sciences (MEMG/ IRC/ 383/GA). Data were analyzed by SPSS version 20.
resultsThe prevalence of gastric cancer among patients undergoing UGI endoscopies was 2.4%. The mean age of subjects was 58±12.35 years (range of 31 to 96 years) with male predominance (M:F=1.9:1). Antrum was the most common site for gastric carcinoma. The most common morphology was ulcerative growth (61.6%). Adenocarcinoma (98.4%) was the most common histology, and the majority was of intestinal subtype (56.3%).
conclusionsGastric cancer is not an uncommon finding in patients undergoing UGI endoscopies. Gastric cancers were commonly seen above 50 years of age and predominant in males. Patients with gastric carcinoma usually present late with advanced disease stages and unfavorable histopathology.
