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

backgroundPatients with poorly cohesive gastric carcinoma (PCC) are known to have poor survival. However, detailed molecular biology of PCC has not been elucidated, except for mutations in CDH1 and RHOA. Additionally, the molecular profiles of signet-ring cell carcinoma (SRC) have not been fully investigated. We aimed to investigate the association between molecular profiles and survival in PCC and PCC subtypes.

methodsThe present study included 455 patients with gastric adenocarcinoma underwent radical gastrectomy. Whole-exome sequencing and gene expression profiling were conducted. Patients were classified according to the WHO classification as PCC or non-PCC, with PCC being further classified into SRC, combined, and PCC not-otherwise-specified (NOS). Clinicopathological factors and survival were compared with molecular profiles.

resultsOf the patients, 159 were classified with PCC, while 296 were classified with non-PCC. Among PCC, 44 were classified with SRC, 64 with combined, and 51 with PCC-NOS. Mutations in CDH1 and RHOA were remarkably more frequent in PCC than in non-PCC. PCC had worse overall survival (OS) and disease-specific survival (DSS) compared to non-PCC. For PCC, the SRC group had good OS and DSS, whereas PCC-NOS classification with CDH1 mutations was associated with extremely poor survival. In the PCC-NOS and combined groups, patients with mutations in the extracellular domain 1 of CDH1 had poor survival.

conclusionsOur findings suggest that PCC has poorer survival than non-PCC. Accumulation of CDH1 and RHOA mutations are unique profiles in PCC. Among PCC, CDH1 mutations may play a crucial role in the survival of non-SRC PCC.
