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.

Abstract

backgroundGastric cancer (GC) is the most common cancer type in Korea. Korean National Cancer Screening Program (KNCSP) offer either upper gastrointestinal series (UGIS) or upper endoscopy biennially for adults aged ≥ 40. This study aimed to investigate the effect of cancer screening program on the long-term survival among GC patients.

methodsA nationwide population-based cohort was constructed based on three national databases. Overall, 46,701 GC patients diagnosed in 2008 and 2009 were included in our final analysis, and they were followed-up until the end of 2019. Survival curves were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier analysis with the log-rank test. Cox proportional-hazards regression analysis was used to report the hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals.

resultsA total of 18,614/46,701 (39.9%) patients died during the median follow-up time of 10.5 years. The survival rate was higher among screened patients (65.8%) than never-screened patients (49.1%). Screened patients had 53% (HR, 0.47; 95% CI 0.45-0.48) lower risk of death from GC. The HRs of GC-specific mortality was lower in upper endoscopy group (HR = 0.36; 95% CI = 0.34-0.37) compared with UGIS (HR = 0.69; 95% CI = 0.67-0.73). Screened patients within 2 years prior to cancer diagnosis had a 35% reduction in risk of GC death. The figure decline to approximately 19% among patients with interval time since last screening of > 3 years.

conclusionsOur findings emphasized the positive effects of GC screening on long-term GC patient survival. Also, patients screened by upper endoscopy or within 2 years before diagnosis had the best survival outcomes.
