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

backgroundThe current prognostic significance of perigastric tumor deposits (TDs) in gastric cancer (GC) remains unclear.

aimTo assess the prognostic value of perigastric TDs and put forward a new TNM staging framework involving TDs for primary GC.

methodsThis study retrospectively analyzed the pathological data of 6672 patients with GC who underwent gastrectomy or surgery for GC with other diseases from January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2017 at the Chinese PLA General Hospital. According to the presence of perigastric TDs or not, the patients were divided into TD-positive and TD-negative groups by using the method of propensity score matching. The differences between TD-positive and TD-negative patients were analyzed using binary logistic regression modeling. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to plot survival curves. Multivariate Cox regression modeling and the log-rank test were used to analyze the data.

resultsPerigastric TDs were found to be positive in 339 (5.09%) of the 6672 patients with GC, among whom 237 were men (69.91%) and 102 were women (30.09%) (2.32:1). The median age was 59 years (range, 27 to 78 years). Univariate and multivariate survival analyses indicated that TD-positive GC patients had a poorer prognosis than TD-negative patients (

conclusionTDs are a poor prognostic factor for patients with primary GC. The location of TDs is associated with the prognosis of patients with primary GC. Accordingly, we developed a new TNM staging framework involving TDs that is more appropriate for patients with primary GC.
