Application of a novel scoring system for gastric cancer opportunistic screening in hospital visits.
Article in BMC gastroenterology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundA novel scoring system and screening procedure for gastric cancer (GC) screening was proposed based on the national conditions of China, which state that endoscopy professionals and facilities are relatively limited compared with the large Chinese population.
methodsA novel scoring system for gastric cancer screening was used to retrospectively analyse the patients who met the screening procedure from April 2017 to December 2019 in our hospital. We divided all of the patients into three groups: low-risk group (0-11 scores), medium-risk group (12-16 scores), and high-risk group (17-23 scores). Statistical analysis was performed on the detection rate of gastric cancer and precursors of gastric cancer among these three groups.
resultsA total of 6701 patients were enrolled in this study, including 4,352(64.95%) in the low-risk group, 1,948 patients (29.07%) in the medium-risk group, and 401 patients (5.98%) in the high-risk group. The total detection rate of gastric cancer was 2.84% (190/6,701), with a 0.94% rate (41/4,352) in the low-risk group, a 5.18% rate (101/1,948) in the medium-risk group, and a 11.97% rate (48/401) in the high-risk group. There were statistically significant differences in the detection rate of gastric cancer among these three groups (all P < 0.05). The detection rate of early gastric cancer was 46.31% (88/190) among all of the detected gastric cancers in this study. In addition, the detection rates of differentiated gastric cancer and precursors of gastric cancer in the medium-risk group and high-risk group were significantly higher than those in the low-risk group. In addition, the area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) of the novel scoring system in differentiating GC was 0.79.
conclusionThe screening strategy based on the novel scoring system can significantly improve the efficiency of gastric cancer opportunistic screening in hospital visits. Gastroscopy should be strongly recommended for patients in the medium-risk group and high-risk group, and detailed gastroscopy should be adopted as early as possible to improve the detection rate of early gastric cancer.
