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 Japanese diagnostic criteria for autoimmune gastritis (AIG) were established by the "Study Group on the establishment of diagnostic criteria for type A gastritis," which is related to a workshop associated with the Japan Gastroenterological Endoscopy Society (JGES) and the Committee of AIG Research Group (CARP). The criteria were set as follows: the cases of confirmed diagnosis are patients in whom either the endoscopic or histological findings, or both, meet the requirements for AIG and who are confirmed to be positive for gastric autoantibodies (either anti-parietal cell or anti-intrinsic factor antibodies, or both). The presentation of endoscopic findings of early-stage AIG in the diagnostic criteria was withheld owing to the need for further accumulation and characterization of endoscopic clinical data. Therefore, diagnosis of early-stage AIG only requires histological confirmation and gastric autoantibody positivity. Suspected cases are patients in whom either the endoscopic or histological findings, or both, meet only the requirements for AIG. Histological findings only meet the requirements for early stage. AIG has been underdiagnosed in the past, but our study group's newly proposed diagnostic criteria will enable a more accurate and early diagnosis of AIG. The criteria can be used to stratify patients into various high-risk groups for gastric tumors and pernicious anemia. They would allow the establishment of an appropriate surveillance system in the coming years. Nevertheless, issues such as establishing the endoscopic findings of early-stage AIG and obtaining Japanese insurance coverage for gastric autoantibody tests require attention.
