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

Background: Tumor budding (TB) has been defined as an independent prognostic factor in many carcinomas like colon adenocarcinoma, but its prognostic impact on gastric cancer patients remains not well established. In the present study, we aimed to highlight the correlation of tumor budding with clinicopathological features and predict its survival outcomes in gastric cancer patients for the first time in the Moroccan population. Methods: This study was conducted on 83 patients who underwent surgery for gastric adenocarcinoma from 2014 to 2020. The patient's clinico-pathological characteristics were obtained from the pathological and clinical records of each patient. Tumor budding was assessed on HES slides, according to the 2016 International Tumor Budding Consensus Conference criteria. The association of tumor budding grades with categorical and continuous variables were respectively assessed by the Results: Patients consisted of 65.1% of men and 34.9% of women with a median age of 61.2 years. Histologically, the majority of the tumors were adenocarcinoma (65.1%). Among all cases, 18.1% were classified as Bud1 (15/83), (27/83) 32.5% as Bud 2, and 49.4% (41/83) as Bud 3 grades. High-grade tumor budding (BUD 3) was found to be significantly associated with special clinicopathological features including older age ( Conclusion: According to our study, the high-tumor budding grade was correlated with unfavorable clinicopathological features and poorer survival. The present study findings suggest that tumor budding should be considered in the treatment and prognosis of gastric cancer patients.
