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

backgroundThe new World Health Organization (WHO) classification of gastric cancer includes a histological subtype of poorly cohesive carcinoma (PCC), which includes signet-ring cell (SRC) phenotype. We aimed to examine the concordance between preoperative clinical and postoperative histological diagnoses according to the 2010 WHO histological subtypes and to compare the prognoses of these subtypes.

methodsThe study cohort comprised 665 patients who underwent gastrectomy from 2005 to 2019. Histological subtypes were classified into PCC-NOS (non-signet ring cell subtype), SRC, and non-PCC, which were defined by the predominant component in accordance with the 2010 WHO classification of gastric cancer. The concordance of clinical and pathological diagnosis was examined and clinicopathological characteristics and survival outcome of the three subtypes compared.

resultsThe cancers of 443 patients (66.7%) were classified as non-PCC, of 112 patients (16.8%) as PCC-NOS, and of 110 patients (16.5%) as SRC predominant subtypes. Significant differences in sex, age, tumor location, size, macroscopic type, and pathological TNM category (all P<0.05) were found. The concordance rate of preoperative and postoperative histological subtypes was significantly lower for poorly cohesive than other subtypes (P<0.0001). Preoperative stage tended to be underestimated for PCC-NOS subtype and these patients had poorer overall survival than those with the other two subtypes (P=0.005). Multivariate logistic regression analysis of overall survival showed that WHO histological subtype (PCC-NOS vs. non-PCC/SRC, HR: 1.64, 95% CI: 1.18-2.29, P=0.0034) was a significant independent prognostic factor.

conclusionOur results suggest that poorly cohesive carcinoma subtypes have different biological characteristics and prognoses.
