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

backgroundLymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma of the stomach (LELC), also known as carcinoma with lymphoid stroma of the stomach, is a rare type of gastric cancer, accounting for approximately 1-4% of all gastric cancers. It is mainly associated with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection. Here, we report a case of gastric lymphoepithelial-like carcinoma presenting as a submucosal mass that tested negative for EBV. CASE DESCRIPTION: a 70-year-old patient was diagnosed with a gastric mass through routine endoscopy. There was no abdominal pain, fever, hematemesis, chills, or other discomfort, and the patient had a history of hypertension. The complete blood count, blood chemistry, and tumor indices were normal, and the results for EBV infection were also negative. According to EUS, it was diagnosed as a gastric stromal tumor. The patient underwent endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). Pathological exams suggested that it was a low-differentiated carcinoma, and surgical dissection was performed.

conclusionCases of gastric LELC are rare, and clinicians need to improve their understanding of the disease to avoid misdiagnosis. The etiology and pathogenesis of this disease need further investigation.
