Well-Differentiated Adenocarcinoma Spreading Widely in the Gastric Submucosa.
Article in Case reports in oncology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
A 56-year-old woman was referred to our hospital due to dry mouth. Diagnostic upper gastrointestinal endoscopy showed slightly elevated lesions both on the anterior wall and lesser curvature in the upper part of the stomach. Biopsy-proven tuble-forming atypical cells in the two lesions led us to treat the presumed early gastric cancers with endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). Pathological examination of the ESD specimen showed well-differentiated malignant cells spreading widely in the submucosa with positive lateral and deep margins. On retrospective image re-evaluation after ESD, we noticed the correlation between the presumed early gastric cancers and the multiple submucosal cyst-like lesions in the gastric wall on computed tomography. Under the tentative diagnosis of gastric cancers originating not from orthotopic gastric mucosa but from submucosal ectopic gastric gland, the patient underwent laparoscopic total gastrectomy and regional lymph node dissection, revealing the tumor infiltration to the serosa and regional lymph node swelling. Postoperative pathological evaluation showed lymph node metastases, multiple submucosal cyst-like lesions lined with a single layer of presumably benign epithelium, papillary adenocarcinoma cells in the submucosa, and tubular adenocarcinoma cells both in the mucosal and subserosal regions. The patient was discharged on the postoperative 7th day without any events and completed adjuvant chemotherapy on an outpatient basis. General surgeons should note that cyst-like lesion(s) in the gastric wall might be a predictor of extensive submucosal cancer cell spreading even in a case of well-differentiated gastric adenocarcinoma.
