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

introduction and importanceGastric cancer is the fifth most common malignant tumor in the world. It is considered to be the second most common cause of cancer-related death. It is still described as the preserve of people aged over 50. However, it is rarely described in young people. In this study, we report three cases of gastric cancer for subjects under 35 years of age.

methodsThe study was a retrospective single-center non-consecutive case series.

resultsWe report three cases of gastric cancer for young people under 35 years old. The consultation reason was chronic pain with a mean evolution of 2.1 years associated with post prandial vomiting. Clinical, biological and prognostic aspects were evaluated. Biopsies in all these patients were consistent with a moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma. The mean age was 28.3 years, with males predominating.

conclusionGastric cancer is generally considered to be a pathology of the elderly, but it can also occur in younger patients. Late consultation for treatment leads to late-stage diagnosis and a poorer prognosis.
