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

introductionAdenosquamous carcinoma (ASC) is too rare accounting for <0.5 % of all gastric cancers and has a worse prognosis than adenocarcinoma. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a case of a man with digestive symptoms and epigastric discomfort came to a Gastrointestinal clinic. CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis showed a large mass localized in the gastric fundus and cardia. A PET-CT scan showed a localized lesion in the stomach. Gastroscopy revealed a mass in the gastric fundus. Biopsy from the gastric fundus reported a poorly-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. A laparoscopic abdominal exploration found a mass and Infected Lymphatic Nodes on the abdomen wall. a second biopsy reported an Adenosquamous cell carcinoma grade II. The therapeutic was open surgery and then chemotherapy. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: Adenosquamous carcinoma usually presents at an advanced stage with metastasis (Chen et al., 2015). In our case, the patient presented with a stage IV tumor; including two lymph nodes metastasis (pN1, N = 2/15) and abdominal wall involvement (pM1).

conclusionClinicians should be aware of this potential site of adenosquamous carcinoma (ASC) because this carcinoma has a poor prognosis even if diagnosed at an early stage.
