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

introductionGastric cancer is one of the top 5 cancers worldwide. Most gastric cancers are classified as sporadic with the exception of around 3 % that are associated with specific syndromes or genes. Hereditary diffuse gastric cancer is a very rare type of gastric cancer, associated with loss of function of a tumor suppressor gene CDH1 which has a high penetrance that can reach 90 % over a lifetime. CASE PRESENTATION: Here we present the case of a 31 years old male patient carrying the CDH1 gene who presented for prophylactic total gastrectomy and D1 lymphadenectomy followed by a roux en y esophago-jejunostomy for digestive tract reconstruction. The patient had a preoperative negative gastroscopy for gastric cancer. On final pathology, few 2 mm foci of signet ring cells involving the lamina propria (T1a) were identified. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: Randomized clinical trial data concerning HDGC is lacking. Individuals who meet the genetic testing criteria developed by the IGCLC, testing should be obtainable from the legal age of consent that range from 16 to 18 years of age. CDH1 is the main gene that is tested. The mainstay treatment of choice for HDGC is total gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y esophago-jejunostomy in asymptomatic patients but should only be undertaken after baseline endoscopy.

conclusionGenetic testing for CDH1 should be carried in high-risk populations. Due to its high penetrance, any person carrying the CDH1 gene should be managed by a prophylactic gastrectomy and D1 lymphadenectomy with close follow up for any future breast neoplasm.
