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

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of tumor markers and contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CE-CT) in differentiating gastric hepatoid adenocarcinoma (GHA) from gastric adenocarcinoma (GA). Methods: This retrospective study included 160 patients (44 with GHA vs. 116 with GA) who underwent preoperative CE-CT. Preoperative serum concentrations of tumor biomarkers and CT imaging features were analyzed, including alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9), carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125), tumor location, growth pattern, size, enhancement pattern, cystic changes, and mass contrast enhancement. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to evaluate useful tumor markers and CT imaging features for differentiating GHA from GA. Results: When compared to GA, GHA showed a higher serum AFP [13.27 ng/ml (5.2-340.1) vs. 2.7 ng/ml (2.2-3.98), Conclusions: Integrated evaluation of tumor markers and CT features, including tumor location, PCA, and serum AFP, allowed for more accurate differentiation of GHA from GA.
