Endoscopic diagnosis and prevalence of early gastric cancer in India: A prospective study.

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.
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
Objectives: Although countries like Japan and South Korea have implemented nationwide endoscopic screening programs, there is limited evidence on the effectiveness of endoscopy for diagnosing early gastric cancer (EGC) in developing countries such as India. In the present study, we aimed to determine the feasibility of endoscopic detection of EGC from India. Methods: The data was prospectively collected for all patients ≥40 years who underwent a diagnostic upper endoscopy from April to September 2021. A single endoscopist who performed the endoscopic procedures completed 1-month training in advanced endoscopy in Japan. Following the training, the endoscopist continued to engage in internet-based discussions regarding his cases encountered. Prior to this training, the endoscopist had not detected any EGC cases during his 12-year gastroenterology practice. Results: A total of 1033 patients were included in the study, with males accounting for 65.4% and a mean age 52 years. The average procedural time was 7.13 ± 4.8 min. A total of 25 patients (2.4%) were found to have GC, including 6 patients (0.6%) with EGC. Two patients had synchronous EGC lesions. All EGC patients were males, with an average age of 66 years. All EGCs were detected in the distal stomach in the presence of Conclusion: Our findings showed that the endoscopic detection of EGC is feasible in India. Optimal training on endoscopic diagnosis of EGC can improve the detection of such lesion. Further studies are warranted to assess the optimization and implementation of an endoscopic screening program for EGC in India.
