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

Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is a genetic disorder that comprises multiple cystic lesions in the kidneys. The association of PKD with gastric cancer has been studied. We present a rare presentation of stomach cancer with polycystic liver and kidney disease. A male patient in his 40s presented with epigastric pain, nausea, retrosternal burning, and occasional episodes of vomiting. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed ulceroproliferative growth in the prepyloric region. Biopsies revealed moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma which was confirmed by contrast-enhanced computed tomography of the abdomen and pelvis. This showed a chance finding of polycystic kidney and liver disease. After confirmation with a positron emission tomography scan, the patient was diagnosed with gastric carcinoma (cT3N1M0, Stage IIB) with polycystic kidney and liver disease. We provide a case of early-stage stomach cancer in a patient with PKD. More extensive research is needed for a better understanding of this association between polycystic kidney and liver disease and gastric cancer development, to achieve earlier diagnosis.
