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

Lymphoepithelioma-like gastric carcinoma (LELGC) constitutes 1-4% of all gastric carcinomas and gastrointestinal involvement in leukemia can be present in up to 25%, being more common in acute than chronic leukemia, affecting most frequently the stomach, ileum, and proximal colon. LELGC is usually associated with a better prognosis than other gastric carcinomas, generally presenting with low T and N stages. The reports of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) involving infiltration of the gastrointestinal tract are relatively rare in the literature, and the estimated incidence ranges from 5.7% to 25%. We present the case of a 77-year-old female, on surveillance by a known CLL that was diagnosed with gastric carcinoma on an esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) performed for epigastric pain. A subtotal gastrectomy was performed and the surgical specimen revealed simultaneous involvement of the stomach by LELGC and CLL. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of a LELGC and CLL simultaneously involving the stomach.
