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

backgroundGastric cancer remains a leading cause of cancer death worldwide. In Taiwan, gastric cancer is the sixth leading cause of cancer mortality in both males and females.

aimTo evaluate secular trends in gastric cancer incidence according to age, sex, and

methodsIn this population-based study, we used the national Taiwan Cancer Registry database. Annual percent changes in incidence rates were used to describe secular trends in incidence rates and sex ratios of gastric cancer in Taiwan. Pearson's product-moment correlation coefficients were used to analyze the correlation between annual age-adjusted incidence rates and the annual number of patients treated with antibiotic therapy for

resultsThe annual percent changes showed continuously decreasing rates of gastric cancer among both males and females. However, the decreasing trends differed by sex, with an annual percent change of -2.58% in males and -2.14% in females. The age-specific incidence rates increased with age. Within the same age group, more recent time periods showed lower incidence rates than greater time periods. Similarly, the sex ratio was lower in later birth cohorts than in earlier birth cohorts. Age-adjusted incidence rates substantially decreased with increasing numbers of patients being treated with antibiotic therapy for

conclusionWe observed steadily decreasing trends with differential sex ratios in the incidence of gastric cancer in Taiwan. These results support
