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

backgroundLatino patients have a higher incidence of gastric cancer compared to non-Latino white patients nationwide, with greater disparities in South Texas. However, the impact of Latino ethnicity on mortality in gastric cancer is controversial. We evaluated clinicopathological characteristics and survival outcomes in Latino

methodsWe conducted a retrospective chart review of Latino and non-Latino white patients diagnosed with gastric cancer who were seen at Mays Cancer Center at the University of Texas Health in San Antonio, Texas, from 2000-2018. Median overall survival (mOS) was estimated from Kaplan-Meier curves and groups were compared with the log-rank test.

resultsA total of 193 patients met inclusion criteria and 65% (n=126) were Latino. Median age for all patients was 61 years. Female patients represented almost 50% of Latinos

conclusionsCompared to non-Latino white patients, Latino patients with gastric cancer at a majority-minority cancer center in South Texas did not have significant differences in baseline clinicopathologic features or survival outcomes. Further prospective studies are needed to evaluate epidemiologic, pathogenetic, and molecular differences in gastric cancer in order to identify variables associated with treatment efficacy and survival.
