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

The hemostatic effect of radiation therapy on gastric cancer with bleeding is known. However, blood tests and endoscopes are mainly used to determine the therapeutic effect. Additionally, magnetic resonance imaging has been reported to be useful when needed because endoscopes are invasive. In this study, magnetic resonance diffusion-weighted imaging was used to evaluate the hemostatic effect of gastric cancer. The hemostatic effect and apparent diffusion coefficient value were correlated. The apparent diffusion coefficient value was also effective in salvage irradiation during rebleeding. Although the apparent diffusion coefficient value of gastric cancer did not change during rescue irradiation, the degree of hemostatic effect could be evaluated in more detail by using the ratio of the apparent diffusion coefficient values of diffusion-weighted imaging of gastric cancer and the spleen. In the future, it would be desirable to use diffusion-weighted imaging instead of endoscopy to evaluate the gastric cancer to spleen apparent diffusion coefficient ratio in a large number of cases.
